You did such a beautiful job on this! It looks so modern and comfy to boot! Kudos!

What a beautiful quilt and beautiful hand quilting!!

Well done, happy looking quilt. Your hand quilting is wonderful. I too machine piece and mostly hand quilt (in my lap versus a frame). I think something can be said about how nice a handquilted article drapes. Keep up the great work.

I think it's fabulous!

You did a lovely job on this quilt. Love the wrinkled look (that what I call it) It will surely be loved. Wish I could hand quilt, but thumbs start throbbing if I hand sew too long. Yours sure is nice.

Fantastic quilt! Your work is fabulous!

What a lovely, fresh and modern look! Your quilting is wonderful. So glad you posted.

Beautiful quilt, & your quilting looks wonderful!

I think it is lovely! You did a very good job. You should be proud!

The quilt is just gorgeous! I'm so used to seeing my own machine quilted pieces, that when i see a handquilted one like yours it blows me away!

fantabulous! sweet and simple!

Beautiful...... Comfortable......LOVED!

Looks great and I am sure it will be a nice comfy quilt for your niece!

Really pretty - your hand quilting is just great - something I might try one day soon. Kudos.

I love it. Your stitches are so perfect and the colors are amazing. Thanks for sharing.

This is just beautiful! Lots of talent and work.

That is really nice. Your hand quilting looks so uniform. I wish I could hand quilt even half as good as that looks

Thanks for sharing this beauty. Love the handquilting. Your binding is the perfect compliment. Great work... and I would not consider you a novice.

Great job! Thanks for sharing!

Congrats on the finish! I love the crinkly look, too!

Wow that is so gorgeous, i admire the fact you did hand quilting, i was taught at a very young age to hand quilt, but i do mostly machine. thank u for sharing

Your quilt if beautiful! Your hand quilting too is wonderful, I like it!

What are you saying??? Your handquilting is gorgeous. I wish that I could be that consistent. I would be very proud to give this quilt to anyone. You should receive tons of compliments from anyone to know anything about quilting.. I am amazed....YOU DONE GOOD!!!

I love the design and the hand quilting. I find it absolutely inspiring when I see hand quilting. I love your work.

Your quilt is beautiful and your handquilting is great!

Beautiful! Great job of handquilting!

What a beautiful quilt and your stitching is very nice; my last hand quilted one was "crinkled" after washing, too. I think it adds to the "uniqueness". Thanks for sharing.

I think you did a great job.

Very cool quilt. Love it.

Your quilt is beautiful and so well done. I love that fabric and the design of the quilt. Your hand quilting adds so much to the finished quilt.

Just beautiful a great quilt love the bright colors and you did a great job with the Quilting

I just wanted to thank everyone once again. I am very thankful for your compliments. I have done a handful of quilts...all but two are handquilted. And those two were lapquilts and I just did straight lines for the quilting. I don't have a machine that will do machine quilting. (Hoping to get a nice machine soon...going to check out some past threads.) I want to learn to machine quilt but I know my love will always be handquilting. I second guess myself all the time. I don't know anyone who quilts and the ones I have seen at the small quilt show that comes to my area are SO perfect....or very old. My back never looks like the front. I suppose it is practice. I will say that my stitches improved with this quilt. I fretted so much about the design of the handquilting and how to get it done. Don't know if I did 'right' or not, but I wound up with a stencil (18x8 inches) and one of those invisible pens and went to town doing a small section at a time. So how does everyone else do it?? I am sandwiching one for my son tonight and will hand stitch in the ditch for it. We'll see how it comes out.

You are all so wonderful. What a happy place this board is.

Sorry to disagree with you ("I consider myself much the novice. ") but IMHO, you have advanced past novice.
