i do not hand quilt entire quilts often but i make a point to on those quilts that i consider extremely special.
if i was making a baby quilt for my daughters baby i would certainly take the time to hand quilt it.
i absolutely love the artistry of machine quilting and i love when hand and machine quilting is combined in art quilts but there are some quilts that just scream for hand quilting because of the emotional factor that will be attached to the quilt.
