I learned to quilt from a woman two generations back and in the winter she would hand quilt her quilttops and in the summer she would quilt them on her quilting frame in the barn. When the summer was over she would have 5 or 6 quilts that were for the fair. But always had some quilt tops that she had never gotten done. So we aren't the only ones who do this. I wish that I had gotten some of her quilt tops when she died but they were snapped up before I could get there
