I agree to put it away for a bit and then decide when you aren't so frustrated. But in general, I think it's ok to mix machine and hand quilting in the same project. Life's too short to hand quilt in the ditch!

I agree with "it's your quilt, do it your way." I would have never thought to do both, but if I saw some nice examples of both being done, I'm sure I'd do the same thing!

I do both machie and hand in most of my qyuilts now anbd love it, do what you feel is right for you!
|
I've thought more about this and I think that to machine quilt the borders would actually highlight the hand quilting in the center. Sort of like a frame enhancing a picture.
|
I think mixing hand and machine quilting has been done for as long as sewing machines have been around. :D:D:D
|
I would do whatever I want and since it sounds like machine quilting the borders would be easier on you, go for it!

There are no rights and wrongs.

(I think the quilt police are snowed in!! )
I love it. I just hope they aren't snowed in here in Iowa because we have a lot of snow. I am a hand quilter too and I would have to think about mixing the two (hand and Machine) but I have seen it done many times. Do whatever feels right to you. |
Your quilt, your decision.
I have a friend who does beautiful hand applique.Another friend does hand piecing. Both send their quilts to longarmers. No reason why you can't mix hand quilting with machine quilting. |

Also- I've only really done hand quilting- learning to MQ this year. Large quilts can be really tedious after awhile. I've done them. Do what's right for U :) |
