Any quilt can be done by hand. It is my understanding that Jinny Beyer does all her quilts by hand. She is an exceptional quilter. There was a lady on one of the Alex Anderson "Simply Quilts" shows who didn't own a sewing machine. Her quilts were beautiful! I am fortunate enough to own 2 quilts that my grandmother made (probably in the 30s) that were all hand made. One is a scrappy Lone Star. The other scrappy DWR. A lot of people do hand work as a take along project, or setting in front of the TV evenings. Hope you enjoy doing your CW.
