I will be hand quilting it in the traditional method starting this winter, but since I still have to piece the back together and baste it I will still be working on it.

Thanks for looking!!

It is just fabulous I love that pattern reminds me of my maternal grandmother.She is gone but her memories live on.

LOVE IT! Great job! I just got a GFG back from my hand quilter....I knew it would take me a decade if I tried to hand quilt it myself.

Congratulation!!!! It looks wonderful. I finish mine a couple of weeks ago but to tell you the truth the idea of all that hand quilting is almost to much for my brain to think about. Maybe I will send mine to you and you can do two at one time! lol
