I love to hand sew, thus I hand quilt, but I'm in awe of those who hand piece. I'm too impatient. I've been working on the same quilt (full size) for 5 months now and have 3 more projects lined up that I can't wait to get to. I think about machine quilting just to speed things up, but I really like the look of hand quilting. That and I've never machine quilted...lol.
