Quilting on Mrs Billings coverlet has begun, and I'm thrilled with how it's coming along already. Getting up close and personal with all the little bits and pieces and deciding how to quilt them is really fun.
While I was stitching just now, I found a little area that had come undone. I'll have to applique it down to secure it - you can just see it there on the left side of the square, by the lighter floral fabric. I'm sure there will be lots of little bits and pieces that will need fixing up as I go along.
This is going to take a looooong time ... hopefully I'll still be able to find interesting things to share with you over the next several months. I'm heading back to the quilting hoop, chatter soon! xox

Looking great so far! I am looking forward to watching your continued progress on the Mrs.
occasionally little pieces come undone. I had that happen on a quilt awhile back - I thought it was all perfect and then I washed and dried it and as I was smoothing it out on the bed I found a couple applique pieces had frayed - I obviously had stitched it too close to an edge I guess - I was able to fix it as you will be able to fix yours. Mrs. Billings is a beautiful quilt. What kind of hoop do you use? I have both a floor standing 3 roller frame and a hoop - I enjoy using both of them!
How beautiful. You are really going to town with that hand quilting. I admire you!
Mrs. Billings is a true labor of love!
What a beautiful quilt to enjoy as you quilt.
So beautiful. I am looking forward to following along on your quilting journey so keep posting photos. We won't get bored!!!
I'm going to so enjoy watching your quilting progress. It's such a beautiful quilt, but I'm sure that it's going to take a while.
This is going to be a masterpiece when finished. One I'm sure you will treasure. Hugs.....
Gorgeous..and Im sure your quilting will finish off this work of art perfectly. I guess I know what you're going to be doing at sewing days for the next few months!

What kind of hoop do you use?
beautiful quilting, will you be able to tear yourself away tomorrow :)
What did you use to mark your quilt?
Your quilting looks wonderful. What a magnificent quilt this will be!
Your quilting is gorgeous. Innovative designs too - clever girl!! Looking forward to seeing progress on her.
Looks great! Are you using a stencil for the quilting pattern or being super clever and free-handing?
It looks wonderful. Have you ever had difficulty getting the blue lines out? I've heard mixed reviews about using them.
Just WOW!
