I've made some good progress the past few days. I wanted to take a photo of the central rectangle before I turn the poles again. All the visible stitches are stab stitched. The rectangle is 8 or 9 inches wide. (There's very little natural light this morning--the flurries are starting, and we should have a couple of inches by dinner time--and the lamps make these colors look darker than they really are.)
Here's a bit of detail (with the colors skewed the other way), showing one of my attempts at a little person.
Once every few days, my husband wanders in, looks over my shoulder as I quilt, and says, baffled, some variation of "Where do you get the patience for that?" I have no idea.

I love the spirals! I hand quilted some a while back and it was my favorite quilting I've ever done. I love to quilt by hand, but I'm always so disappointed by what the back looks like! What do your backs look like? Is there a way to make them look nice? If I could learn that, I'd never machine quilt again!
Hola, I just discover your blog, love your work and the colors you work with, your quilts are lovely, your hand quilting is so good. :)
Meg, you do great hand quilting..very smart! I love the spirals. I made a spiral wall hanging one time. My daughter loveed it so much she took and it is in her home now!
