I love the choice of colors. Handquilting is something I do not have the patience for, and I admire those who do it. This is such a beautiful little quilt. Thanks for sharing. You inspire me!

If you are enjoying the process and the product, that's all that matters. In this case, the quilt brings a smile to MY face. If you DO want to learn more complex methods, ask and you will be given help. By the way, we like to see everyone's work here. I decided long since that while I enjoy hand embroidery and applique, hand quilting is not my thing. I enjoy trying new challenges, a well as quick and simple quilts. I certainly would not want to discourage others who don't agree on those points. Please be embolded to share ALL of your work.

You are FAR too modest, quilt is beautiful, AND do love hand quilting the best by far, looks more comfy that dead flat machine done.
W/natural is very diificult to hand quilt I find so therefore use Hobbs polydown ,much easier but sadly manmade.

beautiful quilt!!! Quilting looks great way better then my first handquilted quilt. I have always used warm and natural as well. I can tell you why its crinkly before the wash, I handquilted a quilt once just sitting and I had the same effect which is not bad but it was there. I was taught to lay it on a table and hand quilt that way but I just wanted to sit on the couch lol. It does make a difference the quilts I have layed on the table and quilted are flat no puckers if I sit on the couch I use a hoop. In the end it's yours and there is not right or wrong. Thought I'd share my experience. Great quilt tho I love moda fabrics!! Enjoy your hard work!
