I like to always keep some hand work going, so I keep a stack of white 10" quilt sandwiches onwhich I have drawn different quilting designs(using washable markers). These I hand quilt.After completing enough for a quilt, I join them by machine using the quilt-as-you-go method. Sometimes I apply a border in the same manner, sometimes I just bind it. It takes about a year of leisure time, as I also have other machine quilts going at the same time.
