CGGQC March project

I guess if I'm on a roll, I might as well run with it! Sore fingers aside, I started hand quilting another quilt. This was all pinned and ready for machine quilting, but I know that I will never get around to that! I'm not very enthused about fighting all that fabric in my machine.  But it is a twin size so it shouldn't take that long - ha ha! At least not as long as a queen size! Hand quilting is all I can seem to manage, I haven't been in my sewing room in forever. Now, I really don't know if I can finish this in March, but I can try. My method is to do all the outline quilting and then go back when I figure out a design to use. This quilt has a lot of sashing also. It's my own design, a combo of piecing and applique. It's Moda Kashmir IV fabric. I had entertained thoughts of making my own patterns, a dream that may never be realized, but this was one of them. I called it Daisy Whirls. I think GD1's bedroom is the right color scheme for this quilt....:)

    Jonelle, I join your sore finger club. I am still working on my first hand quilting piece and I have to say I enjoy the process (Not the sore fingers) but the quiet time of hand quilting. Now about your dream go for it! Sometimes we overlook the call we have been sent because of negative thoughts. If you try it out and it's not for you at least you will know. Your quilt is gorgeous! and if there are others where that one comes from, I would love to see them!

    Hi!, I hope things are going okay for you. (I'm new to your blog...I wandered here from another blog and in reading some of your past posts see that you've been hit by a mountain of 'something' recently. I'm sorry.) I was just in Arizona (Camp Verde/Cottonwood area) and attended the big quilt show in Phoenix the week earlier. Were you there?!
