I don't know where I fall in this discussion. I have been quilting for about 40 years. My favorite part is the hand quilting. I have done at least three whole cloth quilts, one of them queen size. I make at least 20 Linus quilts most months but most of them are just kid friendly fabrics layered with batting and backed with flannel. I simply machine quilt them so they will hold up to many washings. On my queen size bed is a quilt I put together from block of the month squares I won at my guild. I have a few other quilts I made from blocks I created but piecing is not my thing. I like to purchase preprinted fabric that looks like patchwork and quilt around the printed blocks. Most people can not tell it was not pieced before I quilted it. It also saves my hands as I don't have all of those pesky seams to quilt through.
