Adventures in Quilting



I am pretty new to quilting and have only been doing it for a few months. I have been sewing for several years and really enjoy creating new things. This particular quilt was made using quilt blocks (the large horses on white) that my Momma had stitched before she passed away. This is the first quilt that I have ever hand quilted. I really had no idea what I was doing and in my ignorance I didn't know how hard it was going to be... which is a good thing because if I knew how tough it would be I would have been more reluctant to do it.
When I decide I want to hand quilt again I will make sure I have a thimble to protect my poor fingers... not sure when my fingers will forgive me. It feel good to complete a project that my Mom started.
