Absolutely. Its wonderful that you can make all the gift quilts and I am sure they are beautiful. Some people have no idea what people like you and me do in an effort to make beautiful things. If they don't sew, they don't know. So they can't be in error if they know no difference. My comments on hand quilting are in an artistic point of view and the traditional way that quilting started out in the first place. I have such a big stash that I am considering making a bunch of easy machine quilts as gifts to make my stash smaller. I see nothing wrong with it. I bet your quilts are very beautiful. Keep up the good work.
