I have been a hand quilter for over 30 yrs. Machine quilting was a no-no then unless it was a baby or utility quilt. I just finished hand quilting a king-size lone star quilt and I tho't I would NEVER get done and I hated it. It has now "rested" in a trunk for a few months and when I get it out I love it again.
