I'm really fine with my hand quilting except when I know others more experienced than me will see it. But most people are very kind. I think we all know that we start somewhere and it's usually never at perfection.

I must do better at having another quilt ready as soon as I finish one so I don't get out of practice.

We're our own worse critics, but there is joy in the journey, so don't be so hard on yourself.

If I keep making Lori's little quilts maybe I'll use them for hand quilting practice before starting larger quilts.

That last little corner block will probably have the best stitches in the quilt.

I'm still practicing -- I'll probably be practicing forever, trying to get better.

I used to keep a little warm up project with my hand quilting. I would work on that for a little while before venturing to the more serious stuff.
