Hand quilted this!
 
4 Attachment(s)
My 2nd attempt at hand quilting ... went much better than my first attempt ... I did "big" stitch hand-quilting, and actually marked my quilt so it made it much easier. I did have a hard time with the curves, so more practice needed there.

Here's some pics ... I left the chalk lines on so you could see where I quilted the light grey

That's great! I'm sure it took patience (which I don't have).

Genden 10-31-2017 01:33 PM

You can be proud of your work. Looks expert to me. Beautiful quilt.

Wow...such good work! I wish I was patient enough to hand quilt my quilts.

Great, wonderful, you did it!

That's a lovely 2nd attempt at hand quilting and I like the pattern and colours. Practice makes perfect, so keep trying and as with driving, slow down for the corners.

Two things: I LOVE your hand quilting. I LOVE the design you made. Aren't they Drunkard's Path?

I love to hand quilt and your quilt is beautiful. I have never seen drunkard's path blocks set together like that. I love your fabric choices and the setting it is truly unique and stunning. Keep up the great work.

They are kind of drunkard's path ... I used that template, but then had to trim the blocks because there was too much blue, and the oranges wouldn't "join"

Thanks all! I had fun!

The curved seams were a breeze compared to trying to hand quilt the curves LOL ... but thank you!

Terry99 11-01-2017 01:42 PM

Great job. Your quilt is lovely.

solstice3 11-01-2017 02:34 PM

Great job!!

Wow, you did a fantastic job on that quilt and it's really nice!! I am impressed with your hand quilting!! Wish I could hand sew that nicely!!

Beautiful quilt and hand quilting. Years ago I hand quilted my quilts in small stitches (all that was done at the time). I taught myself to machine quilt and It is so much faster, I have never looked back.

I still have four hand quilted quilts. Now I give away most of my quilts or donate.

Faintly Artistic 11-01-2017 05:00 PM

Awesome work!

Boston1954 11-01-2017 05:08 PM

You did a beautiful job! I want you to only hand quilt for the rest of your life. :)

copycat 11-02-2017 02:30 AM

Your hand quilting is so lovely and compliments your quilt so well. I would never guess you are in the learning stages. Keep up the wonderful work. :)

lorimax5859 11-02-2017 05:52 AM

Very nicely done. Trying hand quilting for the first time - hope I get nearly as good as you!!
