I am ITCHING to start another 2 queen size tops that I have the fabric for. I have NEVER had so many UFO's and it's REALLY bothering me!! I am almost ready to have someone ELSE machine quilt them so I can get on with my new ones! And I still need to get started on my Xmas presents (3 x tree skirts and matching table runners!) I exhaust myself just thinking of it!
I have to admit, there is nothing like hand quilting. It is beautiful. But it boggs you down in getting things completed! Machine quilting takes hours instead of weeks & months (sometimes years), and frees you up to make more tops!
