How many of you enjoy old school handquilting? For me, it's a chance to revisit each of the fabrics and create a new dimension/topography from the three layers. I also find it so relaxing after a hectic day. Gives the finished project a nice drape about it too.

i enjoy hand piecing- alot- but am not a big fan of hand quilting- but hand piecing i really enjoy. i guess i'm too impatient for the hand quilting- although i do do it once in a while- only on small projects- by the time i get to the quilting part of a project i just want it done- and it is much easier-faster to just load it up and quilt it!
but if it's something small-special i will take the time to hand quilt it==
it amazes me sometimes how much i can get done hand piecing- so i don't know why i feel the quilting takes so long---i guess it's just the whole- i'm over it-and want it done by the time i get it all together-
i love to buy items that are hand quilted!

Welcome to the board!
I really enjoy hand quilting, although I do some machine work from time to time. You'll find there are some dedicated hand quilters here.
It does take a long time, but I just consider it quality time with myself. :)
