I have been thinking ahead and what is beginning to bother me slightly is the problem of quilting this quilt. I had thought originally that I would hand quilt it in strips, then join in a quilt as you go method. Having seen the bulk of some of the seams, even though I am trying to iron them open as much as possible, I am having doubts about trying to hand quilt it. On the other hand, to machine quilt it would be stop/start all the time, and I also think that would be a pain. Has anyone else had thoughts on this knotty problem?
