This is what makes quilting such a great needle art. There are so many methods, patterns, and techniques that can be used. The most important thing is to do what makes your soul "sing". Hand stitching for hours just wouldn't be my thing, however that doesn't mean that I can't admire and enjoy your beautiful creations. Quilting is a sanity saver for so many people with the added benefit of creating something beautiful, useful and comforting. I don't think any quilter should need to feel "weird" about what they do or don't do. It's your quilt, your time, your fabric and your choice! Happy stitching always.
