The quilt is beautiful. If you don't like this quilt, I'd like to see the ones that you do like. I think that you did a fantastic job, kudos to you for taking on this challenge of being so creative for your first quilted project. I want to know about the long arm that you selected. What type of machine did you purchase? How do you like it and tell me one thing that you love about it and one thing that you would change about it. Bang up job.
