Yesterday I popped into the sewing store for some batting so I could get started on the quilting part of this Hawaiian quilt block. I cut a piece to size and pinned the layers together in preparation for basting. It wasn't long before I was able to start working on the echo quilting. I've never done hand quilting before so my stiches are pretty wonky and large. I also need to search for a better thimble, the one I have isn't snug enough so I quit using it which has resulted in a sore bruised finger.
