I too had started doing hand piecing with Grandma's flower garden block several years ago. It is addictive!!!! A wonderful brain dead thing to do while watching TV in the evening. Great for packing in a zip lock bag or small plastic tote to take along in the car.
Takes a long time to finish a project but I've done a small wall hanging and several table runners for myself and gifts. I love quilting and can't hardly sit and not be sewing something.
I also have a Gammill longarm and love knowing I've made something from start to finish.
I don't know of anyone in our small quilting group at church that does any hand work other than the hexagons (English Paper Piecing).
We are having a quilt show here in Springfield this week end, looking forward to going tomorrow.
