Definitely going to post when it's all done.

Your are doing some good work. Just keep it up. Practice, practice and more practice.
I have been a hand quilter for over 4 years.........I quilt one day each week with two groups...........So relaxing and rewarding..........great friendships are made around a quilt frame.

Your stitches look very even. You will be amazed at the difference in your stitches from the beginning to the end of your quilt. Mine changed even on the small potholder I started out on. Your doing great. Just remember to stretch and it's always a good excuse for a back rub from your husband.lol

You're doing great :thumbup: Can't wait to see it when it's finished.
If you have to bend over your work then maybe you could adjust the height/tilt of the hoop or the height of your chair so you don't strain your neck muscles.
