I really love to handquilt, but my current project is pretty big and I'm afraid I'm wearing out the fabric dragging it around to quilt on long before I'm done with the quilting!
My second project is a log cabin quilt, and I've been hand piecing the blocks on muslin. I've found that this is just as satisfying, and easier to transport blocks to work on than the whole big quilt. I plan to machine quilt this one, and think that the quilt won't look so worn out by the time I get it done!
