I am definitely a TOPPER. I love the creative process and sewing the top and even piecing the backing. But then I freeze about the quilting. I am so afraid of messing up all that work. I, too, have about 22 tops with backs waiting to be finished. But even worse....I hate binding. I don't mind attaching the binding, but the hand sewing is a definite turn off. Is there any hope for us?
