    I think hand quilting a quilt you will keep will definitely make it a heirloom.

    That is a beautiful use of color; you did a wonderful job on it. May you enjoy every stitch if you decide
    to hand quilt it. Love your quilt.

    I too am making one for myself 3/4" hexes. I'm not yet. My thoughts were it was hand pieced (EPP) so I should hand quilt it. then I thought and figured if I had it machine, it would be fancy. so i'll be sending mine out.
    Your quilt is absolutely fantastic. good luck with it.

    Your quilt is beautiful. I especially love your black, white and read hexies at the top and bottom. Striking.

    Since fewer people hand quilt these days I would do it that way to make it extra special as a heirloom! Beautiful quilt & love the color placement!

    Beautiful quilt! Since you have pieced by hand, I would love to see you finish by hand, especially since you said that time is not an issue.

    If you enjoy hand quilting and aren't in a hurry to get this one finished for yourself, I think hand quilting would be the most satisfying.
