I quilt every quilt by hand now, when I first started quilting, I quilted on the machine. I don't have any money to have someone else do it for me. I love how hand quilting looks, I made a triple Irish chain quilt with 2 1/2 inch blocks, and hand quilted inside of each block, and the large section, I used pink thread, and feathered hearts. It looks great on the back side too. Every one loves it, and I gave it to by daughter when she got married.
Have a great quilt-n day,
Pauline
