    I piece by hand and machine. I quilt by machine. I have tried hand quilting, but have not been successful.

    I love hand work, but I don't have the patience for it. I tried machine quilting, but I like BIG quilts. Then I tried QAYG. Sounded like a good idea, but I didn't really like it. Now I have a LA and found that is what works best for me. Guess I'm a little lazy. Ok, a whole lot lazy.

    Both love the hand look, however often make baby quilts and machine quilt them and send some out love to hand small projects, and tack down bindings.

    I machine quilt all of mine, due to hand issues. Though I do hand sew appliques and smaller stuff occasionally~

    Once upon a time, it was hand quilting,.... but times have changed and the machine is quicker.

    Overall ratio: 1 for hand quilting
    Overall ratio: 9 for machine quilting
