    These are BOMs that I did years ago. I just don't have the time to hand quilt and I am debating having them machine or hand quilted. I've looked at some sites like plainandsimplequilts.com that will hand quilt. Has anyone used them or another group like that?

    Those are both beautiful, why don't you practice machine quilting, then do them yourself :D

    They are both beautiful Pam. Try machine quilting them yourself. I do mine all the time on a regular sewing machine. You don't have to start with a difficult pattern. Just practice on a practice sandwich, 2 fabs w/ batting.

    Your quilts are gorgeous!! The first is just an eye pleaser. The second is so unique with the outside border. :D

    Personally--I LOVE handing my tops over to a machine quilter I trust. If it were me--I'd ask around and find someone who has a great reputation--and choose one of their patterns--or talk about having them free motion quilt it. It's a relief for me--I don't like that part. It's hard to fit it under my machine--and the sandwiching can be difficult with getting everything smooth--and despairing over puckers- :? -yup--just hand it, with a back to a quilter and let her (him?) make it beautiful for you--while you work on another top! :wink:

    I do quilt smaller things though. :D

    Both of your quilts are lovely! However you decide to quilt them, they will be even more beautiful! Thanks for posting!

    Both quilts are beautiful!!! Personally, I'd have them professionally quilted by someone I know and trust.
