I was surprised when I travelled in the UK how many quilters hand sewed. Then I realised that instead of driving to work, they commuted on the bus, train or ferry -- and used that time to quilt. And so many also did gorgeous counted cross stitch. I can't even do a printed pattern -- I'm never satisfied with my uneven stitches

I found that my matching is more accurate when I piece by hand, also. I'm working on my first hand pieced and hopefully hand quilted quilt. I've made a few machine pieced and quilted and or tied quilts, but i am enjoying doing it by hand. I love how portable it is!
