day 11... a WIP, a photo by xx Nicke on Flickr.
i started hand quiltng my kaleidoscope quilt a few months ago... it has definitely been a learning experience. it is slow going but i am enjoying the process. i try to stitch a little every day and progress is slowly being made. i hope to finish before i die. ;)

  1. It may be slow but from what I can already see it's going to be totally worth the time and effort.

  8. hand quilting is for sure slow. I have had a grandma's f
    flower garden half quilted for about 8 years : (

    perhaps the next generation will want to finish the "antique"

  9. My first comment never showed up so I will try again. Your quilting looks great and don't feel too bad--I have a grandma's flower garden half quilted for the past 8 years : (

  10. Seriously! I spent hours and hours doing very simple stitching on my last quilt. It took me forever! I'm pretty sure you'll finish before you die ;-) Cutest quilt by the way!

  16. Ha ha! Yup, I've got a bunch of those finish it before I die projects, too! Serging those edges makes more and more sense, too.
