Agree completely - as a lifelong hand quilter I am prejudiced. In hand quilting, you THINK about where each stitch goes. Some of the machine quilting I see is so random. It just goes all over the top with no rhyme or reason. Now please don't yell at me, I said SOME!!! not all.

i was able to hand quilt 5 full-sized quilts for my grandchildren and two baby size for great grands (who I am still waiting on) and now I have a very hard time holding the needle. Jan in VA encouraged me to do big stitch quilting and I have had some success with that. What beautiful work you have done on this wonderful keepsake quilt.

There is nothing to compare or compete with hand quilting. I try to hand quilt all my quilts (unless it is a hurry up baby quilt) You have done an excellent job turning this top into a masterpiece.

Beautiful. Great job. Kudos to you for hand quilting. Seems like people are in such a hurry to get a project done that it is finished the fastest way possible. Yours looks amazing. Thank you for sharing.
