Hand quilting.There actually are people who like to do that. I'm sure you know one who'd meet your standards.

You are the star of LAQers, but I think a work of art like this GMF needs to be handquilted.

Hi, are you kidding me, I've been drooling over your work since I came on board! You quilt that sister! That's what who ever pieced it would want. Especially if she knew how much you love it!!!! Jealous in Harrisburg

I definitely go with the hand quilting for this treasure that is hand pieced. And maybe to get it done more quickly; AND to keep in its tradition, you might possibly find a church or quilting who would set it up and quilt it together as quilts once were done. That would really add to its charm.

I would vote for hand quilting as well. I do hand quilting for other people and they mail the tops to me.

This makes me think of a GFG I did for a lady. Not only were the hexes about the size of a quarter (coin), she wanted each one hand quilted, and the binding - she wanted to preserve all the hexes on the edge, with no binding, so I hand stitched the top to the back (both even) around every single hex!! OMG - was I glad to be done with that one!
