Nice quilt. I have done SID on sampler type quilts. The only king size quilt I have done I did meandering. Perhaps this one could be SID on the blocks and meandering on the rest? I, too, do quilting on my home machine. To get it in the throat plate it has to be rolled very tight. I used bicycle clamps to hold it. Garden gloves with the little plastic knobs help with the maneuvering or the quilting gloves.
