Not weird at all. When I use a floor frame, I crawl under the quilt and look at my stitches all the time. My poor knee sure complains when I crawl out and have to stand back up! I've been using a little lap frame lately and while it's not as fun to be twisting and turning a queen size quilt in my lap, I can just flip the frame over and see what I've been doing.
Handquilting is the most satisfying thing ever. I like to make the tops just to get to the quilting stage. Some of my quilts never get quilted though. My baby and kids quilts get tied...that way I don't have stacks of quilts waiting to be quilted!
