Up until a few days ago, I hand quilted all of mine (hence the reason I have so many tops!). I sent my first one out to a friend to be FMQ. The reason behind this is because I really am not sure I even like the top and I personally had no interest in quilting it, so thought I would give this a try & a) see if I even like the look of the FMQ and b) if I would like the quilt any better. If not, I will give it away. :)
