I quilt my own and I love custom quilting more so thatn E2E, don't ask me why but its just the way it is. Now that I have so many quilt tops to finish up, I might turn to doing more E2E on the body section but still do something different on the sashings and borders just to jazz it up a bit. I have a modern quilt to do next and having trouble trying to find a modern type quilt pattern to use on it. They're also for men so don't want any flowers or curly Qs so I might have to search to my favorite quilt pattern sites and see what I can find there.
I used to hand sew my bindings to the back but with so many quilts to get done, I've gone to using a decorative stitch on them.
