A Slower Pace

I have had this small basket quilt  pinned and draped over a chair in the living room for days now. I have been trying to decide on the quilting pattern. I kept telling myself that if I would just decide something I could quilt it quickly on the machine and have another project finished. 
I looked through my books for ideas but still did not have a plan.
Then, I cleaned a bit in the sewing room and unearthed my basket of perle cotton.  That did it for me. I knew I had to hand quilt it. The quilt is small after all.

I do enjoy hand quilting.

I still don't have a complete plan for the quilting.  I am currently working on outlining the baskets.  I can decide about the background quilting as I go along.

Slow progress is better than no progress especially when it is enjoyable.
