Shelley, your quilt is gorgeous. I love the quilted bear paw. I used (mostly) batiks in mine, and steam-a-seam lite. The water soluble stabilizer is a great idea if I have problems with the needle sticking - and I think I even have a little bit of it on hand. So you quilted through all the layers at once, without first stitching down the fused top??? I actually took a class when I started this quilt, but we never got to the actual quilting part.

I later washed the quilt to block it for quilt shows, so the stabilizer disappeared.
Take your time. This is doable!!
