I too have quilted all my quilts with the largest probably a queen size. I start by doing the SID , then depending on the quilt I meander, echo, cross hatch, follow the design in the fabric, bubbles. I can't do the fancy designs that the long arms do, but I make them as gifts for my family and I want to say I pieced and quilted it myself. In retirement, I have found this a very fulfilling passion.
I love to attend quilt shows and admire the works of others. They are masterpieces that inspire me to try new techniques. Enjoy quilting - just as when we attend art museums, we enjoy the work, but don't put ourselves down for not being able to do the same. We are inspired instead.
