    I think it is still hand made even if it's not hand sewn.

    I made a quilt for a family reunion last yeat , it was a kingsize maple leaf quilt. The maple leafs were hand appiqued, the blocks were sashed and machine quilted. I WAS INFORMED IF I HAD HAND QUILTED IT SEVERAL of the women would have bid on it . It sold for 125.00 dollars and my Oklahoma relation was so glad to win the bid , What do these women expect that you will hand quilt quilt so they can bid a small price to win the quilt, HE ALSO WON THE BID THE YEAR BEFORE FOR A UNDERGROUNG RAILROAD QUILT , DOUBLE BED SIZE, Do these womwen think you will work for a whole year on a quilt just to please them at a cheap price,????OK I hav evented enough, :thumbup: :thumbup:

    That would be my view. I know many people (most of them NOT quilters) think every quilt should be entirely hand done. I point out to them that my great grandmother, widely viewed as an exceptional quilter, was piecing on a sewing machine at about the time of the Civil War. She had the first sewing machine that she knew of in Chicago.

    I might suggest "custom made for ___ by ___ on date", but leave the decision to them.

    I never thought of handmade that way. Guess I'm way to literal.

    IMHO, the people who "would have bought in if it were hand quilted" probably wouldn't anyway.
