It took me about a week to build up the courage to ask for some feedback on this one...So this is a little lap quilt I'm working on, I have some more quilting to go. its alll pieced and quilted by hand, and by a novice so its pretty rough.

I was hoping for some advice on technique and design, and maybe some ideas for finishing this one.

Thanks.

I have no idea what I did to make the picture so wacky.

Looks great! I have no advice on hand quilting since I haven't even tried that yet.
