My latest quilt....

This is the quilt I made for Suz and Chad at Christmas. This is my second hand quilt and I have to say I really enjoyed making it. I learned to quilt by hand first and then moved on to machine.  One of the nice things about quilting by hand is the portability.  I took this with me everyehwere for about 4 months.
