I started quilting seven or eight years ago. Have been sewing forever. Don't really know how many I've made. Most have been given to friends and family. Do have about 20 in various stages of completion still hanging around. Initially I did both piecing and quilting by hand. Then I got impatient and started piecing by machine and more recently also doing the quilting by machine as well. I still have several that I want to finish quilting by hand and when I do the double wedding ring one I'm collecting vintage fabrics for, it will be done completely by hand. My machine is a 1951 year model Featherweight.
