My small quilt group just did a quilt demo at the County Fair. We had 1500 school kids coming thru and let them hand tie pieced quilts that we had "pillowcased" and placed on frames. They completed 5 small charity quilts that way and they look great! We also let them try hand quilting with a "stab stitch" and picking strips for a Roman Coin quilt top. I think anything that works is fine in quilting! No Police allowed!
