I think some of us have got a little lazy and don't want to hand quilt since the longarm came out. I really congratulate a quilter who has both hand pieced and hand quilted a quilt. As for longarm quilting, some quilts have been quilted to death. Need more appreciation for us hand piecers and hand quilters. I don't really care for some of the art quilts. Some of them look stupid and crazy. Not like grandma use to make.
