thank you Nessa! I pieced the whole thing on the machine...but quilting it all by hand. It is smaller than it looks in this picture...just a baby quilt. Someday...(when!!?) I would love to make a large bedsize quilt for us...and handquilt. That would probably become a many years project! haha! :D
I've always wanted a handquilted bed spread. My mom used to do lots of quilting, but she always made smaller quilts, or quillows The thing I love about hand quilting is that is tells a story, the fabrics chosen, the love & care that goes into them. I still have a quilt made by my great-grandmother for my mother. I've done a couple of machine sewn small and very basic quilts, & I'd love to someday make a full quilt out of fabrics from my & my husband's past. I have a lot of respect for people who actually handsew each square. It is a beautiful art. ~Nessa
Oh I know!! Seeing handmade quilts in person are so amazing...just all that time and work that goes into them! My mother has a stack of antique quilts she has collected and they are just so great to see in person , all the intensive work! Let me know if you ever get around to starting on one...I have one planned, like in the next 5 years! haha!
