Last night I finished the 6th block on the sampler quilt I am hand quilting. It is looking fantastic and the quilting I did is the best of all (pattern wise). This will be a stunning thing once I get it done - maybe in 2012. I am now officially 1/5 done with the blocks. Of course there is all the sashing and borders to do, so I am more like 1/10 done with the quilt.
It's still farther along than when it was in a bag unsandwiched and without a backing. I am really enjoying the hand quilting - it is so soothing and I feel such accomplishment when I finish a part. I had forgotten how much I like doing handwork.
I have a wall hanging project that I have to finish this week since it's a gift and the party is next weekend. It will be all machine quilted and I will start tonight. I am thinking it will only take a few hours, since a lot of quilting would really take away from the panel fabric that it's built around.
Need to run up to work for a bit this afternoon, then will come home and get working on the quilts.
