Here's where I am with the quilt. Quilting by hand is very slow, so I won't have a lot to show off for a while. I can only devote a couple of hours to this piece while I'm on my mid-day work break, and I'm trying to make my stitches smaller, so I'm working even slower than usual.
Despite that this is my favorite part of making a quilt. I get a lot of time to think as I work, and the act of stitching together patchwork is very soothing. I also do some reading and watch videos on my lap top as I work.
This is the quilting I've finished so far this week: one bar block and about half of a log cabin block (aka not much). I'm using nine different colors of hand quilting thread, and have pre-threaded nine needles so whenever I need to switch colors, so I'm set.
