I've never stitched a quilt and it ended up being full sized so its probobly not the best idea to decide to learn to free motion quilt on this project (although I'm typically good at sewing curves). I used to do alot of embroidery so I'm thinking hand quilting is the way to go.

So what are the rules? How much space between seams is too much from a practical standpoint? How much can my quilting be drawing with thread?
