It is beautiful! You are doing a wonderful job. Please don't put yourself down just because it is taking you longer than it took your neice. As far as I know, you two weren't having a competition...So just smile and keep working on your beautiful quilt. Pretty soon it will be completed!

Just saw another post on this quilt pattern. I think I may have finally found what I want to make for my bed. I've never done one this big from start to finish. I have a question. Is there a difference to the warmth of the quilt when you machine quilt as opposed to hand quilting? I hand quilted a top my grandmother pieced and it just has a warm feel to it. When I've seen the machine quilted quilts on here, they look so beautiful and more decorative than I could do by hand but it just seems like all the stitching is so close together that it would lose some of it's ability to keep you warm. What do you think?
