After having completed 2 quilt tops, with 3 more halfway done... I am finally concentrating on actually turning one into a quilt.

I think I am finally getting the hang of the hand quilting stitch, but dang, it was really hard to get the motions down.

I have Jinny Beyer's "Quiltmaking by Hand" book but it really took a couple YouTube videos where I could see somebody doing it realtime for me to grasp what I was supposed to be doing.

I think I am looking for some reassurance that the more I do this, the easier it will get.

Now why I think it is fun to take perfectly good fabric, cut it in little pieces, and sew it back together again is another issue...
