I hand-quilted all day after ripping out the the bunched up machine quilting on a king size quilt. It is therapeutic, just time consuming. My husband and I attended a block a month class class together, then combined all of the squares (22 total) into one king size quilt, sashing them together with a neutral tan and a solid wine colored border. We are loving our joint creation, even if it takes another year to complete! LOL. It is gray and cool outside, great day to cozy up infront of the fire and sew!
