    Beautiful quilt, I hand lap quilt too, but my stitches are not as nice as yours. Good Job!

    The hand quilting looks amazing. I will try that one day, I swear...I just love the crinkly look! Beautiful quilt : )

    oh my gosh, everyone. I am overwhelmed with your kind words. You have no idea how many times I looked up 'rocking stitch' or watched a video. Or looked at the beautiful quilts here. I seem to second guess a lot. Thank you very, very much for your compliments, encouragement, and advice. I do have a nice lap hoop and have tried using it many times, but I just can't get comfortable with it. I am getting ready to start quilting one for my youngest son (almost 16)...but I need to order white batting. I live in a coastal area and only have Walmart for selection. I will stitch in the ditch this time. I have a blog of my quilts, but it needs to be updated. When I get that done, I will post the link here. You are all wonderful!

    So pretty and I love hand quilting. I have a long arm and still do a lot of hand quilting.
