I'm still working, slowly but surely, on hand quilting my butterfly quilt.
This time of year it is either too hot, I'm too tired after a long and busy day at work, or I have gardening to do or garden produce to freeze or dry or can so hand quilting a very large quilt is last on my list of priorities.
I do only have three side sashings left to quilt.
I might have to add something to the corners up there.
I have found I actually love hand quilting. Who knew?
I'm still working on perfecting my stitches but I'm very used to a thimble now.
Not sure I like to applique, though. Jury is still out.

Your stitches are so tiny and evenly spaced-a lovely quilt.

I love seeing this butterfly quilt! It has been fun to watch it grow and I love your tiny stitches of quilting. It will be ready for more attention as you have time and energy - quilts are wonderful like that.
This is such a cute quilt, and your hand quilting is the perfect finishing touch. Great job!
It's such a pretty quilt. Your hand stitching is amazing! I like hand quilting better than applique as well.
This quilt is looking marvelous! Your stitching is wonderful and I love that green sashing in among the butterflies!
This reminds me of some of the quilts I knew as a child at my grandmother's house. So pretty!
Beautiful!
I look forward to seeing your progress on this quilt each week. It is so beautiful. I love the picture of the whole quilt.
