The fabrics are Civil War era reproductions.
My Blue and Beige Quilt is finished!
And now sits on my old quilt stand in my bedroom.
Looking like it belongs.
I began this quilt in November 2012.
I hand pieced all the fabrics in the blocks. I worked on it off and on for three years. It has been a joy to pick up and work a few stitches.
Something easy to sew, to keep my hands busy when my mind was tired.
I wasn't in a hurry.
I worked on it through exciting episodes of Downton Abby because it didn't require much concentration. AND I hand quilted it. The hand quilting stitch is really just a Running Stitch. Anyone can do it!
I am just so proud of myself!

And so you should be proud. Every stitch by hand. Amazing in these days when so many people reach for a machine instead of making the personal effort.
Thankyou. I find Hand Sewing is so relaxing.
Yes, you certainly should be proud of yourself, it's a beautiful quilt, and all handmade!
I love hand sewing, as well, though I've not attempted to hand stitch quilt blocks! I've hand quilted a small quilt and that was fun. Congratulations on your "slow sewing" project. It really is lovely!
