Seeing tops like these makes me want to learn to hand quilt!
I am hand piecing a quilt and it is not that hard... I can be productive when I'm not home and I know that I'll have a nice quilt in the end. :D to get nice even stitches, I use a light color chalk tracing paper, measure out 1/4 seam and trace using a pinwheel tracing wheel ...this gives me 1/8" stitches evenly spaced. after piecing several blocks, my hand/brain automatically does the 1/8" stitch :D
