I just have one. I do have a lot that have been cut and ready to put together. Once I get it together I always want to see it quilted.

At least 6 that I can think of. I don't hand quilt my own but send them out to be machine quilted. If I could afford it I'd send them out immediately so they hang in the closet until I can afford it. I don't want to stop making them to catch up so on it goes...

I'm following a pattern so some of it is ditch quilting and some of it isn't. I don't like the ditch quilting. It's hard to make the stitches small and it's hard to pull the needle through.Originally Posted by nuttyhurricane
When you hand quilt, do you really quilt in the ditch or 1/4 in. away from it? I thought that it would be be too tough to actually quilt in the ditch by hand. K

If I could find them all I probably have between 25 and 50 tops ready to quilt. I quilt by hand so it takes a lot longer plus got started making tops and couldn't seem to find time to quilt. I thought long-armers would never have any to pile up, so you all keep me from feeling lazy.

I still have about 10 but just got a used Voyager 17 longarm and Hinterberg stretch frame about 5 months ago. I do not know why more ladies don't go together and purchase a frame and share the cost. I love hand quilted quilts but to have one DONE and ready to give is thrilling!
