I vote for machine quilting :) Your work is always so amazing that it could only make a beautiful quilt even more so.

Have always believed this particular pattern, Grandmother's Flower Garden,
is one that should be hand-quilted especially since it looks like vintage fabrics
and has been hand-pieced. In future it will have alot of value!

It's a beautiful top. If it was mine I'd send it out to be handquilted. (I can't do it because of wrist problems). But, given the fact that you are a magician at machine quilting, you just might want to wave your magic wand and do it yourself.

And me too....

Pretty quilt!

I think it would be amazing to mix traditional with contemporary. How neat would it be to add your own personal stamp with your fmq? I believe you will make the right decision no matter what though!

I would definitely hand quilt it. I'm a traditionalist and love to hand quilt anyway. It's a treasure to say the least.

Great friend

As much as I love your machine quilting, I would vote for hand quilting it. But I'm not volunteering for that job!

As beautiful as your work is, it would be a shame not to have it hand quilted.
