Blondie's quilting is beautiful. It is exactly what you would like on a vintage quilt and it is oh so special because you would do it yourself. I love hand quilting. It is so therapeutic and relaxing. We usually have 4 or 6 sitting around the quilt for hours and we laugh. We bring pot luck and quilt for hours. It is such quality time with my cousins. In total it takes us about 100 hours total (five of us for 20 hours each, etc) to do a queen size quilt.
