Almost every quilt I have come across in yard sales in GA were done this way. Even the ones that were quilted. Time honored tradition. And if you are happy with the outcome that is all that matters.
She gets her's machine quilted. Horrors!!! doesn't she know that the only Proper way to finish a quilt is hand quilted. She better get busy. lol

So sorry to hear your mom is so critical. She must be unhappy with her life. My mom was always complaining too. But I miss her. Often they are speaking to themselves instead of us. Does she have a machine you 2 could drop the feed dogs and do machine quilting on to finish her quilts? Maybe she wants some time together. If not often I rent a machine at a local quilt shop and do my large quilts.
