Default Machine Quilt?

My royal opinion is - it's your quilt, you call the shots. : )

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.
