I'm even guilty of hand quilting/crocheting in the summer. We live in the middle of a cattle pasture, and evenings get quite cool in the middle of summer when the winds blow down from the mountains and the ground gets cool. That's when I love curling up with my projects.

I feel the same about hand quilting. Plus, it give you a chance to revisit your fabric choices. For me, at least, having the quilt on my lap, I see every detail in the printed fabric that I may have missed in the previous quilt processes. I love the way the quilt takes on dimension as your add in "hills and valleys" with your very own hands. Guess it's like everything else, you either love it or hate doing it.
