Quilting Progress

Well, since I started hand quilting this baby, it's gone pretty fast. I am a lot farther along than I thought I would be. I will definitely be done before my estimate of two weeks if I keep up this pace.


Another 14" section done!
I feel like the 'pinwheel' needs a little somethin-somethin in the middle....mmmmmmm

I have a few  threaded needles here and there. The hoop does get in the way but it holds the fabric so nicely....I don't mind....as long as I remember where there are. If not, yeeee-ouch!




Kinda hard to tell, but it looks about half way done.

The stitching isn't as nice as the front, but I am happy to say, 
it isn't as bad as I thought it would be!


It's not perfect, and I kinda like that about it. 
That's a big step for me because I am a little anal at times. lol  
I can't wait for it to be done because it will be the second quilt I have quilted all by hand.
Next pics will be in the finished files!!! woo and hoo

  1. I love it! I don't think you need anything in the centers. Any why do you have multiple threaded needles? What is the benefit?

    1. If I have a lot of thread left and more quilting in the same area to do, I don't knot and then start a whole new line, I just move my hoop and continue where I left off. Saves time, thread and I don't have to bury more knots. LOL

  2. As the lady who taught me to quilt would say, it's a little "Amished". :) Because only God is perfect, Amish quilts tend to have an itty bitty mistake somewhere in the quilt... on purpose.

    Happy Autumn...
