My mom has a couple and they don't compare to "real" hand made. The stitches are really big and far apart. Some of the seam allowances are so skimpy they come apart. Last time I was there I had to re-sew the binding and fix a few blocks on one of hers.

Yes, I know. I should make her one. I'm working on a lap quilt for her. But frankly, at this time in her life the one on her bed needs to be washed so frequently that I'd just as soon have it be the one she has rather than one I made.
