My Own Quilt

I finished this yesterday, the day I finished my diss.

This is my second quilt, and it's the first one I hand-quilted. My stitching is pretty bad, but I think it improved toward the end of the project.

I used Amy Butler fabric and a tad of other scrap fabric.





I had a tad of dark Amy Butler fabric left over from the first quilt, and I put in 1/4 inch strips throughout. Here you can see the stitching toward the edges, or end, of the project. The stitches are too wide, but they are approaching regularity. The hand-stitching went pretty quickly, to my surprise.
