Just needs one small bit of work and it is DONE. This thing has taken me months and months and quite frankly I'm a bit of sick of looking at it. I may need to pack it away for a while before i put it out.
So a refresh of what it is - I used 2 boxes of Moda Dark Candy Bars, two brown sashing fabrics, a green polka dot backing and redish brown/green fabric for the binding. I hand quilted with Perl Cotton no 8 in a variety of colors.
I don't know how the Amish and the hand quilters do it. Looking at the same quilt for so long but it's no wonder their quilts cost what they do - I now think they undercharge.
Now I feel like I can move onto the Old Truck Quilt and a few other projects without the Lil Rascals and Stacked Coins wearing on my UFO stack.

It's beautiful and I think you did a fantastic job. The handquilting thing is something I don't think I want to tackle either. I get bored too easily. But your perserverance has me a bit motivated to give it a try!
I think you did a nice job of it.
I do understand looking at a project too long tho, that's why some things seem to take me forever.
It turned out great! I imagine after all of that hand quilting you might need a little vacation from it. Just don't forget about it, it's too pretty to sit in a closet.
I LOVE your modified stacked coins, and the hand quilting! I am particularly fond of hand quilting b/c of its history, and the fact that my ancestors were hand quilters. :)
