It looks great! What patience to hand piece the whole thing. I usually just hand piece curved stuff. As for the machine, buy the most you can afford. Take pieces of quilt to machine dealers with service departments (you will need it sometime in your machine's life) and sew on both used and new machines. I have a newer Bernina, but my sister's is almost 20 years old (hard to believe!) and still sews like a dream. I also have a vintage 1951 Singer 301 which sews great, but only straight stitches. The machine has to fit YOUR style of sewing. Have fun and don't let anyone highpressure you. Know what you want to spend and stick to it.
