Well, I don't handquilt. I also don't freemotion on my sewing machine. I send mine out to a longarmer (my daughter), I'm not sure how many of my quilts are waiting to be quilted. My daughter puts mom's quilts at the back of the line. I have a feeling she's going to wait until I pass away and then tell her brother and sister - "You want one of mom's quilts - pay me to quilt it."
