I also hand quilt and never consider anything else. Fingers getting old and need resting at times so then I cut fabric for next quilt! I hand quilt while watching TV in the evening using one of the Ott Lites to put light only on my work not disturbing anyone else watching. The easiest quilt to handstitch was an Irish Chain (Queen Size) - the most difficult one was a Wandering Path (or Winding Ways) (twin size because of the curves. I do not use a quilt frame (don't have the room but baste thoroughly my layers and maneuver the quilt around my lap. Each to his own on this but kudos to those who still hand quilt.
