I think you did a great job. I admire your effort at hand quilting.I am too impatient to try. All my quilting is done on machine. Keep on quilting and if you enjoy it, it is a lifelong hobby.

When I hand quilt, I wear a thimble on my needle finger but like to "feel" the needle when it gets thru the quilt. Now that finger develops a callas (spelling?) till I am done with a quilt.

Excellent work. Keep up with hand quilting. There's no price for this.

Beautiful design and colors on your quilt! Nice work on the hand quilting! Are you able to use a thimble? There are some that would let you 'feel' more than just a straight metal one.
