No more swinging the entire quilt around and around, and it really seems much easier, dare I say that I'm actually enjoying the process. I think the circles will really look cool with the bright colors & sharp edges of the pattern. It will probably take me 6 months to quilt it, but that's OK. Still love the feel of a quilt that has been handquilted. :) AND, if I find this quilt on the floor after I give it to my daughter, I think I may strangle her. ha ha
