    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.

    You have nothing to fear, wonderful work!

    I especially like the colors, very good choice.

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