This truly is a beautiful quilt! I have never hand stitched an entire quilt before or hand quilted a quilt. Recently, after over 10 years of quilting I took the time and hand stitched the binding down. It really is a relaxing way to finish a quilt. Although, I do hand embroidery quite often and know the time involved in projects; it is still difficult to imagine the time it takes to do an entire quilt. Thank you for sharing this site and this spectacular beautiful quilt. Have a wonderful creative day and an especially delightful holiday!
