OH MY...........I must preface this by saying that I was brought up with hand quilting, and while I have seen some nice machine quilting, I never even considered it for any of my quilts. Now I must eat my words and say that if it were you doing the quilting, I would have NO difficulty handing over one of my hand stitched tops to your care and giving you free rein to do with as you wish...anyone should be thrilled to have your work on a quilt...... BRAVO!
