Mini Amish Quilt

I put this mini Amish quilt together as a practice piece so a friend could teach me how to hand quilt without a hoop.  It took me twice as long as it should have to finish, because I ripped out all the quilting that I did first and started over. However, I'm much happier with what I have shown here than I was with my first attempt.  I don't know that I will ever be a hand quilter, but I do like the hoopless quilting method, especially for quilts like this that are too small for a hoop!

    You did a great job! Like you, I've done one hand quilting project and don't know that I'd ever call myself a hand quilter. It's my most favorite project though.

    Looks great to me. What do you do differently to quilt without a hoop?

    Wow, it is beautiful. Love the colours, and your quilting is great.
    I hand quilt things that I will keep, but I machine quilt things that I will give away. Not really selfish, just practical, as I know most of the quilts will be thrown in the washer and maybe the dryer. (eeek)

    I love the amish mini, and your stitches look perfect to me. The hand quilting really adds a nice touch, doesn't it?
