I just feel inadequate about sewing them and i can't afford to have them quilted. So please give me some feedback......I will post pics soon..
I used to hand quilt all my quilts. Loved doing it. Tried machine quilting, did 2, will never do another! I now tye for the same reasons you do. I use embordery floss. I tyed the GFG in my avaitar. Used floss to match each fabric. Have another that needs to be tyed. I do so admire machine quilting, and hand quilting, but you have to do what works your you!
