I always go through the (I don't know what to do thing). I will lay out the quilt and walk around it and look at it for days. Then start all over agine. But I find that my first impression and my first thought on how to quilt it are usally what I end up with. People always like it and I wonder to my self why I always go through all the fuss. Then I get to my next quilt that I have to quilt and I start the process all over agine.
