I am attempting to handquilt. This is my first quilt to piece, and I'm simply doing a crosshatch. Keeping it real!

Nice job! I am thinking of trying a hand quilt on a wall hanging.

Looks good... Keep it up. Hardest thing is to keep them even.. you're doing a good job.

This is a king size quilt....I do two hours a night. I have this figured out to the hour lol.....There will be 66 lines both ways, 132 lines total....I'm doing 2 lines a night, so should take me about 2 months if I keep doing 2 hrs a night...

Looks great. I am a handquilter too. It's so rewarding to me and I take my time. ALways have one on the rack. Thanks for sharing.

LOL, it gets quicker with time! Needle becomes second nature, and it flys through the fabric.
Your lines are perfect :thumbup:
Good job. I like a project that takes a good long time to quilt, very relaxing.

I love hand quilting, not an expert by any means. I just find it very relaxing. Will probably have to do some machine quilting just to get through my stack of tops!

Looks nice. I'm doing my first handquilted quilt, too, and I can't do near 2 hrs a night, so my baby quilt has taken me about a month and a half so far. :)

There is a new virtual section for hand quilting topics, if you haven't seen it you might check it out.

Renee110 - did you finish this quilt yet?

You seem to be doing a great job. The hardest part is keeping the stitches consistant. I have often used the method you are using. I mark my line with painter's tape and just move it over to the next spot when I finish one line. I can get a lot of quilting done and still enjoy TV or a conversation.

Lookin good! I am almost finished with my very first totally hand pieced and quilted quilt. It is not going to be perfect, but by golly I did it.

NO!!!! I do a line a night, and I figure it will be another month before it's finished. I'll post a finished pic when it's done.
