1st handquilted quilt
 

Took me almost a year to make this. Enjoyed the process too.

Don't know if you'll be able to tell by the pictures... but I quilted the big stars in blue and the smaller ones in red.

What fun. That should wake everyone up. So far the only things I have handquilted are a couple of baby quilts. I am giving serious thought to doing a bigger quilt. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful work, love the colors!!!!

Wow!! cool colors, nice job

beautiful and colorful, reminding me of a rainbow. It looks wonderful on your daybed. Congratulations, hand quilting is quite an achievement.

i love the brightness of it and the stars are great!

Oh that is a very bright quilt.

A treasure ... so glad you are using it -- it's why it was made!

Oh, I love the colors and the design! I'm going to try my hand at hand-quilting this year too.

It is beautiful but the fact that you enjoyed the process is the most important thing.

Love your quilt. It looks fabulous on the day bed. Can see your stars but couldn't tell the color of the small one.

Love the bright quilts. We get a good amount of bluebonnets here in north central Texas too.

What a Gorgeous quilt you have just shared with all of us. You did a wonderful job hand quilting it too. Give yourself a pat on the back, from me for doing such a great job!! I just LOVE it!!
:D :D :D :D

Really a fun quilt, great job and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day

Thank y'all for your kind words.
I realize this isn't traditional colors for a quilt.
Most of it was made from scraps/left-overs.
My goal is to try and use what I've got, only buying what I need to finish up a quilt.
As I could never live long enough to use up all my fabric! :D

very nicely done... bright and cheerful

Great job. Congratulations on finishing a great project!

Love the bright colors! Congrats!

it is a nice happy quilt

"Hey" from a fellow Texan....beautiful work!!! ....i so admire anyone who hand quilts. This quilt is just fun to look at.

Love the quilt and the hill country! I am a native Texan and love the BlueBonnets and the Indian Blankets.

Love the bright colors an the pattern

Just to let you know. I'm a hand quilter also. My very 1st quilt, I did was a king size water bed quilt, and I sewed it,// hand quilted it in the first year. My 1st quilt show was the following year. I still have the quilt, with worn out fabric, and so on. I'm hand quilting a grdmothers flower garden, a lady friend gave me. She hand sewed every peice by hand. I'm 98% of haveing it done. Roughly guessing 2500-3000 peices in this quilt. 1 more quick note, I get in my chair of a evening, and my 3 dog's are in the chair with me. And they dont move until I move. I get stiff, after so of time sitting. I'm hooked on hand quilting. The needle I use is a quilting/between, size 11. Don-isewman

Snappy and attention grabbing. Sure is pretty.

Fabulous bright quilt, nice quilting!

very pretty!!!

Now I am really itching to be fixed from my shoulder surgery so I can quilt!!! You inspired me to go start putting fabric together :) Thanks! It's stunning. I handquilt or qayg all my quilts and love love doing it.

Great job - love the colors.

Lovely quilt! Yes, hand quilting is a time consuming process but once its completed it is so satisfying! You did well keeping at it. Well done. :thumbup:

Very beautiful, love the colours.

wtg its beautiful love handquilting find it relaxing!!!!

Again, thanks for all your kind words.

While I enjoy finishing a quilt quickly, handquilting has it's place too. It is relaxing to take your time and enjoy.

Sending out a "howdy" to my fellow Texans. **not sure we will have a very good crop of wildflowers this year. Rain is scarce and not at the right time when it does come.
