I stumbled on this forum while looking for bargello ideas. I think I am s super OFO procrastinator -- I am hand quilting an international border exchange queen quilt from 10+ years ago. I hope I can attach a pix.

I have lived in Maine for 30 years and love the clear air and beautiful coast. I belong to a couple quilt guilds. BTW Joanne's gives a 10% discount if you have a card.

I hand quilt because it relaxes me. I lap quilt so I can tote a project anywhere. I like scrappy quilts and trade fabrics so I always have a variety
