My entry for the Spring Blogger's Quilt Festival.
My third quilt I ever made. All hand pieced. It isn't perfect but it is perfect to me.
I learned so much making this quilt. The hand sewing taught me how to get accurate points. And seams. It also taught me the importance of careful cutting.
It hangs in my living room. And I adore it.

That is a lot of hand piecing! What a gorgeous quilt. It has a stained-glass look, making each block really pop out. Kudos to you!
It's lovely Dana... and look at all those points to match! and that for a second quilt.... it's amazing and no wonder you treasure it!
That is a very intricate pieced quilt and it reminds me of a stained glass effect with the sun beaming on it as well:)
I am impressed! It is a beautiful quilt. That is a lot of hand piecing.
I love it! Hand piecing is alot of fun but you seem to have it mastered! Thanks for sharing Dana.

Very beautiful and kudos for hand peicing!!
Woweeee. It's beautiful. Hand pieced? Really?? Color me impressed! : )
Dana! I thought you made MANY MANY quilts. I am so surprised.
This was only your third quilt?? And you hand pieced it? My hands are crying just thinking about it! It's beautiful... I'd hang it up where I could enjoy it too!
I love the one red square and knowing that it's hand pieced. I'd like to try that sometime. I love my sitting on the couch sewing time!
Awesome quilt. I can't believe it was only your third!!
That's fantastic. I started hand piecing too. I do think it's a good way to start really! I love your quilt.
About time! I was wondering when you were going to enter a quilt! Adorable...love the one red square! Yep...you should be proud!
Did you know that the store where I work has a Facebook page? Go visit and you might see a picture of a certain someone!;)
Very pretty! I learned to quilt by hand piecing too. I still haven't finished the top. The teacher had us sew all the block together, then left it up to us to figure out the borders and quilt it!
Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely beautiful! You should be very proud of yourself - a quilt is a major accomplishment. I love the colors...and the design.
It's so nice to see someone posting one of their early quilts for the festival! I admire the hand piecing! I've really got to learn how to do that one of these days.

Your third quilt? Great quilt, and the fact that it was hand pieced is impressive. Great job.
