My quilting machine went in the shop yesterday....again! If I were quilting large bed quilts I'd be in trouble, but since I mainly do children's quilts and throws, I can finish them on my DSM. Still, after a couple days of piecing my lower back feels like I've been stuck with an ice pick. Then I do some cross stitch and relax.

I love both, I hand quilt, hand piece, my favorite things to do. Of course I machine piece, but love hand piecing more, but since I can't sit on my behind ALL day, I sew at my machine, among other things so I don't sit all day.

I much prefer to piece than quilt, even though I have a mid arm.
I usually pick away at a quilt always set up on my mid arm while I piece on my domestic. I get a lot more piecing done, as evidenced by the bags of tops I have ready to be quilted. I had decided not to go the long arm route, but my shoulders are beginning to ache while quilting, so may end up getting a small table long arm. Perhaps that will make me want to quilt more? Watson |

I do QAYG, so I don’t have large pieces to work on. I like that I can quilt each block the same or different, and having a beautiful back as well. I don’t mind sewing the blocks together as that works up pretty quickly

Thank you. That is the front of the first one, beautiful on both sides!

I always have several projects going at the same time and I think that I know why. Every time I'm in the final stages of completing a quilt, (as in quilting it,) I want to do piecing instead. It happens every time. Maybe it's because I really like piecing, but as for quilting, not so much.
You are not the only one. I think that is why many of us have all these unfinnished tops or blocks. |
