Hi,
I am a self-taught hand quilter from London. I have recently finished my first project (attached) which has taken me about 3 years but I have realised I am now missing it and want to do more!
I have realised that I have a lot to learn as I think I concentrated more on the piecing than quilting and there are things I would change about this one but it was a learning curve. I can embroider etc well but am looking for inspiration and ideas/tips to improve my hand sewing and for a more unusual design next.

Thanks to you both! I didn't use a hoop or frame which may have been part of the problem. The piecing took a very long time as I used card hexagons and I think I probably 'oversewed' everything.
