I always hand quilt. I don't know how to machine quilt, and I have too many control issues to let someone else take over and do it for me. I have done three Q-K whole-cloth hand-quilted, and many, many others. I try to leave a lot of "white space" in my quilts just so that I can do a lot of fancy stuff. My avatar is the center medallion of one of my whole-cloths. I'm not good at it, but I like doing it.
