Its my duty as a law abiding quilter to turn you in to the Quilt Police, of course I could be bribed with a little chocolate and lets say 2 fat quarters....?

My girlfriend does that all the time. She hates hand sewing. She machine sewed hers down by just sewing in a circle and she let the tips free. It was really cool . It's your Quilt, enjoy it how ever you want to .
