I am 100% a hand quilter. I hand quilt because it is what I enjoy doing.

I have a lot of admiration for the skills that machine quilting takes. That is not the direction my love of stitching takes me personally.

FABULOUS job on this quilt! Whether the quilt was newly made or a reject you rescued, that is some FINE work you put into this!

I admire what you did with this quilt, it is truly beautiful! GOOD JOB!

This is absolutely gorgeous, and surely has earned you another feather in your angel wings!

Well said!!! I agree completely.

That is just beautiful. I love what you did with it. Machine quilting saved this quilt and made it a thing of beauty. Not just a UFO in a chest somewhere.

That has to be one of the prettiest quilts I have ever seen. Your quilting is spectacular!

As far as I am concerned there is only one rule for quilting and that rule is that there are "No Rules". Creativity and making something so beautiful out of that quilt top with all of it's problems is the thing that counts.

That is one fabulous quilt. You saved it from being stored away and now being used with pride. I am sure that whoever originally made the quilt would love the quilting job you did on it.

Whether it was hand sewn or machine sewn the quilting adds to its beauty and shows off the original piece with love.

You did a fabulous job making the quilt once again gorgeous!

Thank you for sharing!

If I like a quilt I don't care if its hand stitched, machine stitched or glued together.....and I really like yours! I just keep coming back to look at it. :lol:
