Default Machine Quilt?

Hi Everyone. I finally got a few minutes of quiet to pop in and check on
everyone. I hope ya'll are all doing ok. I think about ya'll everyday and
tell myself that I will make time to pop in for a visit. Just as I sit down
to the puter, the toddler wakes up or decides he's hungry or something. So I
haven't had much time to post lately. He keeps me hopping and on days that I
have both toddlers, well, I just don't get much of anything done. Oh and we
just found out that Grandbaby #5 will be making an appearance in about 7
months.

Anyway, to my question. Some of you may remember that when I first started
quilting again a few years ago, I started with a Tumbling Block. I got a few
blocks done and have worked on it sporadically over the years. Then a few
months ago I drug it out again and decided to hand piece the blocks. I've
actually begun to enjoy hand piecing them. I'm nowhere near finished with it
but I've been pondering how I want to quilt it when it's done. I don't think
I want to even attempt handquilting it. So what do you all think about
machine quilting a hand pieced quilt? Has anyone done this? I'm curious to
know everyone's opinion on machine quilting vs handquilting a hand pieced
quilt.

I'm inclined to agree with Julia in MN. It's your quilt. You could
also machine a lot of it then add a little hand quilting if you feel
like it. The main thing is to enjoy whatever you're going to do.
Otherwise what's the point in doing it. There's enough in life you
have to do with out doing things you don't. .. Elly
