This is a beautiful quilt. Question for your hand quilting...Do you use a hoop or a frame? I have only done frame quilting on full size quilts. When I tried to do them with a hoop it did not work well for me so I started machine quilting but have a couple found quilt tops that were pieced by one of my Gmas and I want to hand quilt them.

Size 11 needles are shorter than size 9 needles.

I like the colored thread for your quilting.......the stitches show up so nicely.

Really, really like your hand-stitching, Don! It shows up beautifully and certainly enhances the quilt without "interfering with the pattern!

I seem to bend needles too...thanks for the tip about JJ-11. Will try those next

Wow!! What dedication! Just lovely work.
When I saw Jenny Doan from MSQ last week, she said they were working on an easy Wedding Ring and Cathedral pattern...I'm afraid I will be waiting for that easier one lol!

Lovely dbl wedding ring quilt, I use to use needle size 12, no longer can so I've upped to 11 or 10, age catching up to me I guess.
