I, too, am not thrilled by the actual quilting part. I send mine out. I feel good about it because I am providing a bit of income to a long-arm quilter.

I have read comments by some on this board that they don't feel a quilt is their "own" unless they have done every step of its creation. I do not fault them; to each their own. But, for my part, life is short and I am not going to try to do something that feels like a chore to me. I love almost every step of quilting (pattern selection, color decisions, fabric ideas, cutting, piecing and watching a top (back, too, I piece all mine) come together, I just don't care for the actual quilting and I don't beat myself up about it.

Do what you love and let someone who enjoys it do the rest.
