To illustrate the difference between piecing and quilting I made 2 mini quilts using the same block pattern. A blue one that was machine made and a red one made by hand.

I believe that part of the beauty of quilts are their idiosyncracies. There are so many ways to sew; I could never chose one method over the other as a favorite.

Lets start with piecing. -- Molly
