This is very beautiful - no matter how you've started quilting by hand, the person who takes over the quilting can follow your pattern, or at least come close to it. I'm a hand quilter - afraid if I purchase a long arm machine, I'll be spoiled on it and never return to my hand quilting. I've purchased many "almost completed" hand quilted quilts, and find it's rather easy to follow someone's "started" quilting project.
