I've done one large quilt and a couple of miniature quilts by hand. It was at a time when I was commuting and had a lot of time away from the machine. After that though, I switched to crocheting and knitting and only do applique by hand. I can't see well enough to thread a needle without a device and bright light. The problems of getting older!

a couple of my bee members hand-pieced hexagons for a grandmother's flower garden and then the aunt of one of them handquilted the tops -- beautiful quilts!!-- these are women who generally do all by machine!!

Jenny Beyer is well known for doing hand piecing. There are a lot of quilters especially if they participate in having their quilts judged in a major quilt show do the binding by hand. I still do it that way because of the professional look it gives a quilt. I HOPE that my quilts will show up on the Antique Roadshow in 2075.

In my quilting group their are two ladies who do everything by hand and they keep right up with us. They are amazing and their work is beautiful.
I like to do hand work but never made a whole quilt this way.

I'm on my second English Paper Pieced quilt this year. http://www.katjasquiltshoppe.com/the...uilt-along.htm
When my hands were younger I also hand quilted my quilts.
If we were in a hurry we could buy a blanket.

I started an BOM with my LQS using one of Eleanor Burns books (we had to buy the book in order to participate). It was a 12-block sample, and I decided to hand piece and hand quilt it. I got a lot of help from YouTube videos when it came to intersecting seams and other techniques. I never finished the piecing, but need to locate it just for my own satisfaction.
