The quilting is lovely.

Very, very nice job hand quilting. Surely doesn't look like something done by a first time hand quilter. Look forward to seeing the finished quilt.

That looks great! I am jealous! Big difference with the white thread. Your stitches look tiny! :-) still thinking I may not do the grid in the center.... Hmmmm.

Looking great!

Keep in mind I have been hand quilting many years. Please do not compare. Yours looks awesome for your first try. Mine did not look anywhere near that good.

Wow! You wouldn't want to see mine. You could probably get your toe hung in mine.....almost!

I wish I could remember the site where I got the little kit that I am working on from... I will see if I can figure that out and get that information on the topic. It really did seem to help me get started.

Here is the site where I bought the kit. :)

Just got the border all traced on... looks like I may be in the car for 7 hours on Saturday. Perfect time to get this finished!
