I have hand quilted all of mine except for one which I sent out to a local lAQ and she did a fantastic job. I just like doing them myself except for the one I sent out which I knew I would never get around to finishing. She did it in about three weeks and there were others ahead of me, if I hadn't sent it out it would still be sitting on my closet shelf, the same one it was on when it fell on my head and I said that was an omen as I had been thinking about having it done.
