Good idea! Around here the hand stitching is quick and inconsistent with some--not all, of course. So, research well.
I once had a boyfriend whose grandmother made that pattern for us--but we never even got to the engagement phase. I used to visit her and watch her quilt. My mother told me years later that she asked the grandmother if she would sell the quilt to her to give to me, but she wouldn't go for it. I did get a pillow though. :D
