The hand quilting really gives it a lot of character and makes it doubly beautiful. As a hand quilter, I'm impressed with how quickly you were able to get it done.

I only handquilt, and it's fairly uncommon to see these days! You've done a beautiful job with everything on this quilt, and no doubt you will treasure it for years and years. I think the Swoon pattern in also great - I've made one large block as a centerpiece to a quilt, but I think I shall have to do an entire quilt with it.
