Oh that looks so good! I wish that I had hand quilted mine. I've never done hand quilting. It doesn't look as if it would take so long as I thought.
What thread/needles do you prefer using for hand quilting? I might just order some for this time of rest!

What a wonderful quilt!! I absolutely love the pictures outside. The hand quilting really makes this one special.
