Hand Quilting
All my quilts when I started quilting many years ago were hand quilted and the binding finished by hand.
Machine quilting is much quicker and gives a very different look. No method is better or worse - you can show off your workmanship whatever method you chose.
This table runner is made from some left over blocks that didn't make it into a full size quilt, so I pieced them together with sashing and borders and quilted by machine around the outline of the stars.
And I'm finishing with some turquoise and brown thread by quilting by hand 1/4" inside each piece. I started by using painters tape to mark my 1/4", but that went out the window pretty quick and I'll be finishing the handquilting by eyeball!
