I'm varying the color of the perle cotton (size 8) and varying the width of the seam allowance to match the fabric patterns and block design. It is s-l-o-w going, but it is so beautiful, and cozy, that I think I may work on it for a few more weeks before I need a break from it.
Have you ever done hand quilting before? What is the biggest quilt you've ever hand quilted? Do you feel comfortable with your technique?

A great effort. It will look amazing finished
I love your stitching - I want to try to hand quilting on a small baby quilt. It will be a first :)
What kind of needle do you use? The hand quilting looks amazing!
I loooooove it, Melinda! As you know, I'm hand quilting a king size Swoon quilt right now, much like you in various colours of perle cotton. I am enjoying the process and feel like I've found techniques that work for me. Previously, I hand quilted a couple of baby quilts and one lap size which I learned a lot from. Like everything else, practice makes the biggest difference.
there are not words to describe how amazingly wonderful this quilt is going to be!
i love it!!

It has really been a treat to watch this quilt develop with time. What a treasure it will be!
It's looking wonderful! The biggest thing I've quilted was a king size quilt - it was too big to machine quilt! I think it took about three months and was so big it had its own place on the settee!!!
I think it looks great! I've only hand quilted a few small wall hangings and such. I think I'm daunted by the amount of time it would take to hand quilt an entire full-sized quilt. But one day, I surely will. I just need to start a project that doesn't have a deadline! Your quilting looks great!
