How many quilt tops do you have that are waitin for the day you find enough energy to make them into actual quilts? :-D
I hand quilted one top, and if I would have had to quilt them all like that I would have given up long ago. But I learned to machine quilt, starting with straight stitch in the ditch and progressing on to freemotion. Much better!!! Keep making tops and work on the hand quilting as you can; or machine quilt or send them out. Quilters like to do one part more than the other - that's why longarmers have such a good business!
