I prefer the look of free motion not computerized perfect. JMHO I might get the computer later but I like the creative side. I am still learning and not too sure I want to post something that is not perfect enough. What I have seen so far here is awesome!

Fran, I think this looks lovely! I think many quilts are better served by all overs. If you quilt the HECK out of some, they get heavy and the quilting detracts from the piecing. If you did more on this, I dont' think it would look as nice. Well done!

I love all these quilts. I agree with Soccertxi that to much quilting can detract from the original piecing. The quilting needs to high light and complement the pattern of the original quilt. It shouldn't take over. Less is more. :)

That is how I quilt Franie. I am not about to show mine hahahahahah....I prefer the simple quilting and enjoy doing the freehand. I have made designs on my christmas quilts but all freehand.
It takes time to so intricate work and most of the ladies here want just what I do and it is reasonable. I can't imagine how much you would have to charge for all that fine work...
