  14. Thanks everyone, and yes Kim, hand quilting is hard to find. Congrats to Julee for hand quilting heres. To me some things are just a "must" to handquilt and this is one of them. I started last night and got about 1/2 a square done. I travel (with my job, starting in January) so not sure how long the quilting will take. If I can put my OCD down for awhile I hope to get it done before June of next year.

  23. I cannot go by this post and not comment - your quilt is absolutely stunning. One of the most beautiful pieces of fabric art that I have ever seen. I know I'm late with my congratulations, but I'm so glad I stumbled into your blog from Sew Many Ways - you are an inspiration!
