Current Project on the back of the sofa...........

I try to keep works in progress requiring handwork handy on the back of the sofa so I can work on them while watching TV. In this photo are my Carol Hopkins' "Lizzie's Tents" quilt from her Civil War Legacies collection.  This quilt is larger than some of her patterns, measuring 32" x 37".  I am quilting 1/4" along seam lines as I like to quilt with a minimum of marking.  Next to it is the "Keystone Medallion" from Jo Morton's Club 9.....just needs binding handsewn.  At far right is my little ebay-inspired quilt that I have been handquilting for way too long!  Stitched down the center of each round.......and there are 17 of them!!!  Love the feel of a closely-quilting quilt!  I am quilting "Lizzie's Tents" with my oval hoop......I like the looks of my handquilting better when I use a hoop.  However, when I quilt small quilts, it is too bothersome to be constantly changing the hoop position, so I have been quilting without a hoop...seem to be improving with each little quilt.
