I agree. I also like tied quilts and have done that in the past. I've also sent a couple quilts to be hand quilted. My Avatar quilt is hand quilted by these wonderfult quilters in Rossville, IA. I have just learned to FMQ and have done that on my last two quilts but I still really like the look of handquilting better and yours are very inspiring.
