Hello. I have been a quilter, sometimes collector (fabric and patterns that is) for almost 15 years. Most of my work is done by machine and I send my tops to a local friend for machine quilting. My current passion (insanity) is constructing a Grandmother's Flower Garden (GFG) by hand, using english paper piecing. Like the usual quilter (40 projects in progress, UFOs), I already have my eye on doing a Hearts and Gizzards and Cathedral Window by hand. Insanity, I know.

Greetings and welcome from New York state! We have a few hand quilters here, including me. I did a GFG top by hand and started a CW, but got side-tracked with that one.I like working by hand. It's very relaxing.

I'm not quite as insane as you - no piecing or quilting by hand - but definitely addicted to the art!

Welcome from Lowell, MA. I don't think you're an insane quilter, otherwise I would have to label myself an insane quilter. You can say you are doing a quilt as you go quilt, and it's beautiful.

welcome from San Francisco Bay, you are not insane I like to quilt by hand for all my quilts, charity included (could be that I am very bad at machine quilting!)
