Wow! The workmanship in this is just lovely! I am sure you will be able to complete it no problem. Hand quilting is not difficult just goes slow. It is nice to have handwork laying around to pick up and work on while watching TV. If you have not handquilted before I would recommend you try a few practice sandwiches and then you will be able to complete this beauty.

Give it a whirl. By the time you complete it, you will be a hand quilter and proud of your work.

wow what a challenge! i agree that you should give it a shot - your hand quilting will be mastered by the time you are finished with this.... what an honor to the person who started this quilt...

Wow. Now that's a work of beauty. I'm sure you will do the lady proud when you finish it. Just take your time and work on it in short spirts.

This quilt top is Beautiful!!! What a find. Good luck :-) :-)

Wow, what an awesome quilt. I know you can finish it just as she intended.

Oh WOW! Stunning. Take it a step at a time. I am sure there are lots of lovely people on QB who will help you if you need it. Best wishes.

Fabulous story and fabulous quilt! I'm sure you'll do the quilt justice!

Just take the time to talk with a hand Quilter that is local to you these ladies are always willing to share there talent/knowledge. We have a lady who only and I mean only hand quilts.

Thanks for all the positive feedback from everyone.
I'll have to do some research and lots of practice before I
feel comfortable enough to tackle the hand quilting. Pieces
