A couple *years* ago we did a block swap in my eBay group. As the swap coordinator, I had a jump start on everyone else & got my top done within a week or so of sending the swap blocks off to everyone else.
Then she sat for a while, all folded up & lonely. I figured since the swapping ladies meant so much to me, that I would hand quilt it. And the process began…..
I only quilt in the evenings in front of the tv, so I am not devoting a ton of time to the quilt, even IF I quilt it every day. and that’s a big if, or rather a laughing if. Truth is, I quilt on this sporadically, at best. I’ll quilt on it every day for a week or 2 and then it will sit for a month or 6.
Now that the weather is/should be turning colder, I have picked it back up. You can see 3 quilted rows. There are 2 unquilted rows tucked under. I have a beautiful cable & fan border design already picked out.
Maybe now that I have aired my shame in the “month or 6” I will be more motivated to keep working on this quilt & finish it this winter….maybe…

That is beautiful quilting.
I use the machine for regular quilting and hand quilting for my primitive pieces.

WOW, you are doing GREAT! You have accomplished a lot so far! Can't wait to see it completed!
It is such a lovely quilt. You're doing a great job.
I too go through phases just like you when I hand quilt. After I get through about 70% of the quilting, I find that I spend a LOT more time working on it and finish it (well quicker than I thought I would) :)
