Quilting - Lots of Hand Quilting

I am heads down quilting!
Taking breaks and doing stretching at predetermined breaks.  About every 45 minutes seems good.  I am working to a deadline I am determined to achieve.
This is my Shenandoah Valley Botanical Album quilt.  I am entering it in the Virginia Quilt Museum Exhibit.  They have asked we not show the finished top before the exhibit.
Each stitch brings me closer to binding, label and sleeve time...
Happy Quilting,
Dawn

    My goodness, this sounds (and looks) labor intensive. You are doing a beautiful job of close quilting.

    Keep up the good work, Dawn; it will become a beautiful quilt. I already admire the stitches on the back of it: they are so neat and tiny.

    It looks wonderful! Sometimes the backside can be just as nice as the fancy front! So nice to see hand quilting -- I was so surprised when I saw that machine quilting was taking over back when. Hand quilting all the way!

    Make goals, and work work work. That's the way you get things done. I am curious about the top of that quilt! Good luck on the hard work.
