I hand quilted my first two quilts, both king size. Now I'm like so many.....always in a hurry as there is never enough time so I am learning to machine quilt. My best friend/sister says it is because anyone who would take a perfectly good piece of fabric, cut it up and then sew it back together is "nuts". Nope, she does not sew let alone quilt, but I did convince her to tie one for me.
