I finished it. The wall hanging is hand quilted. I never did learn how to quilt in a hoop. I guess that you can tell. I think that I will have to get more of those stick-um up hooks for the hallway. I still have the two bathroom doors left with no wall hangings on them. The thing about quilting a wall hanging as opposed to a bed quilt is that it will not be subjected to the same wear. So then I can use thin fabric on the backing. And that facilitates the hand sewing.

Congrats on finishing the hand quilting! I can't really see it in the photo, but I'm sure it's beautiful. We had a prize-winning quilter come to our guild to teach hand quilting, and she doesn't use a hoop either.
Love the quilt! Love your letters.
You're going to have to dedicate one wall in your house for just these little wallhangings! Can you see them all hanging together in a group? You can have your own quilt gallery!
Great quilt Roz - Tonya's letters are such fun to do
