    Great use of your 2.5 squares. The dark horizontal strips make the colors pop. Awesome quilt!

    I looked carefully at the 4-patches. Each one is a lovely combination of fabrics. The stitching is perfect and tiny. And I love the separation strips. It’s beautiful.

    What a wonderful use of 2.5 inch squares and kudos to you for hand piecing and hand quilting. It is a cozy looking quilt.

    The offset quilting lines are quite effective.

    I love to hear all the nice things. This quilt is a simple four patch with a 1" black strip inbetween. I did try to watch my placement of the colors. To me it is so much easier to sew by hand than to sew on a machine. Perhaps I am more limited in design but it is much simpler. I could even use a template to cut my squares and not even have a rotary cutter. Haha! Just like in the good old days.

    Wow! Hand quilted? You have very small stitches. Looks great!

    Fun scrappy! I can't imagine hand quilting through all those seams though.

    Beautiful, I did one with 3 inch squares, but I didn't put a strip in between. Wish I had thought of it. it really sets the colors off. Good job.
