Friday finish - Handquilting the cowboy quilt


 I have been working on this for quite a while. Hand quilting for me is never a fast thing. Unless I'm too weeks away from Christmas and I was hoping to get this done as a gift.

Then there is plenty of pressure to get it done. I made it by the skin of my teeth or should I say the
callus on my pointer finger.
 
The intended recipients were able to know that what they have seen me work on for so long was always intended for them. :) That brought a smile that made it all worth while. Unfortunately they didn't get to hold on to it yet. I still have to hand stitch down the binding. But in comparison to the quilting part that shouldn't take long at all.

  3. I love how you kept red and tan for the "stars" and background but used different colors for each of the stars. It's beautiful. It looks like you did a lot of hand quilting on it. (And if you hand quilted the quilt in your header photo, you are an expert!)
