Hi all... first the good news: I found a Q-snap frame for hand quilting at a friends garage sale yesterday for $5... online they are $89!! Got it set up and put my DH's quilt on it...

Now the bad news: first, some history... I've chosen a fleur-de-lis pattern to put into large diamonds and have planned to simply outline the small diamonds... Now, the problem...

I can only hand-quilt in one direction!? The fleur-de-lis require turning and turning and turning.. I've used a lap hoop, but the quilt is large and there is so much quilt to turn everytime...

Do I need to try to learn to quilt in more than one direction? I'm stumped? not sure how to proceed... and hoping I've not bitten off more than I can chew!!
