What a beautiful top!!!
Nobody in my family sewed or quilted but I became interested in both when I had little ones. I took a quilting class with a friend and got hooked. We hand quilted our sampler quilt and I spent many years hand quilting. It's my favorite way although I am learning machine techniques now. They both have advantages and are both beautiful.
But...... if that top you have had been my Mom's I would definitely hand quilt it. That's just me though. You really have no limitations.
Good luck and welcome to the board! There is so much info here and lots of friendly people
I forgot to add- Youtube has videos of everything you can think of. You may want to check it out.
