I had a wonderful time quilting this baby quilt for my niece. The entire quilting experience is so rewarding, especially when you add the extra effort of hand quilting. I love how the project begins as a rough sketch, then moves to a colorful fabric selection usually consisting of both winners and losers, then morphs into the pieced creation. Once the top is pieced together, the hand-quilting adds another dimension, physically and figuratively. I love how the quilting adds the final stability to the quilt and brings it all together. I spend many hours quilting and when I do, I usually spend that time thinking about the quilt recipient. Two of my three hand-quilted quilts have gone to my unborn nieces, so it's a lot of fun thinking about their future! Each quilt has a special part in my heart and I love that!
