I wondered if anyone hand-quilts larger projects on their laps, and if you do will you need to use a hoop or is not not necessary? I have a UFO that I took off of a large floor quilting frame when I moved (picture attached with my Boo kitty), and it's all basted and waiting. I'd rather not set up my huge frame, and wondered if I'd get decent results just quilting it at night on my lap.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Tina, With a lap quilt hoop you certainly can and I do lap quilt all the time. Save larger quilting projects to be quilted in the winter it warms you twice, Once when you're quilting it and then wne you're admiring your work of art...
Enjoy!
