Hand Quilting the Klara Annabella

I've hand quilted before as part of church sewing circle, but for the first time, I'm going to hand quilt my own quilt.  I pieced this top last summer as a living room throw, and I began quilting yesterday.  I'm going to quilt in casual concentric circles using the hoop as guide; this will be my major handwork for a week at the beach coming up.

The lovely name comes from the printed names on the fabrics' selvedge.

    I love the colors and can't wait to see the finished product. For some reason, I can't bring myself to quilt until it's cold outside, but you gave me the idea to take M's Christmas stocking to the beach to work on:-).

    It's on my goal list to learn to quilt. I look forward to hearing more about yours. It's off to a wonderful start.
