I know it has been several days since I have made a post. I have not been very productive. I will take this time to show you another of my quilts, or rather one block from it. I don’t have a picture of the whole quilt. Must remedy that one of these days. I don’t suppose it really matters, since it is a one block quilt. The blocks are 10 inch finished squares of unbleached muslin, front and back. The design is a quilting motif I had used in one the blocks of William’s quilt. It is hand quilted using three strands of DMC embroidery floss. That was not a good idea. It was hard to thread the needle, and hard to pull through the quilt. I used a different color on each block. It is a small quilt, 5 blocks by 6 blocks, but I was sure sick of doing those blocks by the time I finished. Boring!!!! Glad I finished it though, because this quilt I made for myself, and I have used it nearly every day for the last 10 or so years. My sister, Kathy, made one like it and she uses hers all the time also.

Sounds like you might have had a bit of frustration doing this quilting, but it looks great! Very nice!
It looks fabulous! I can only imagine how tough that thread had to be to pull through the quilt sandwich!
Your quilt is beautifully done. I can't imagine how many hours must have gone into making this. I am afraid I would have had cramps in my hands trying to pull that needle full of thread through the quilt.
Great quilting job! I've tried hand-quilting and not gotten very far with it!
