But I do love some kinds of repetitive handwork, such as crochet; I find it soothing. So maybe I should make a baby quilt or something small that I can hand quilt over time.
I hand quilt everything and finish about 3 bed-size quilts a year. How many do you think you need? Never could understand the rush.
