I have always been a hand quilter. Thought about trying to machine quilt, but never built up the nerve to try it. Hand quilting is so soothing. All of my quilts have been either queen size or baby quilts. I am making my first "couch quilt". DH asked for a small one. So I am making a small "Trip Around the World" for him. It will only be about 56"x80" when I get it completed.
