My problem with quilting a quilt is that a lot of the designs (suggested with the pattern, or by other quilters) are hard to do or impossible by hand. And since I don't quilt on a machine but by hand, that's a problem. Stitch in the ditch is impossible by hand, and while the featered designs or the ones with all the little waves look great, they are very hard to do by hand - and take ages if I could do them. Simple designs that are a bit more spaced out are what I need - but thinking of those myself is pretty hard sometimes.
