It looks like you're an old pro! I only handquilt my quilts and have been for over 12 years years. This is a wonderful job! Perhaps you nned todecide to stick with it- after all, you did a fabulous job!!

Good job on the hand quilting. Have you tried without a hoop? I find it much easier.

Had I not read the explanation of this and just seen the picture I would have thought it had been done by an expert hand quilter - it is beautiful!!! However you did it (stab/rock) you have a real talent!!!

I would recommend a Q-Snap frame. They come in all sizes - even floor models. The best quilter I've ever known was a stab-stitcher! The key is finding a thimble that doesn't feel like a Kleenex box on the end of your finger. Don't give up!

Looks great to me, love the pattern and colors also!

It's beautiful and I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who quilts using stab stitches! I have fibromyalgia so it's hard for me to rock the needle without a lot of aches, and I find stab stitching much easier to control the length of my stitches. Yours look fantastic! So even!!
