unless you want the quilting to show and be the focus point on your quilt, if not, the quilt pattern and fabric will be the what makes the quilt. Quilting can be almost invisible and when is all done and you are looking at the quilt on the bed or wall all you see is the color of your fabric and the pattern.
this is how I look at my quilts and like someone on this board said even if you make a small mistake while quilting you might never see it. Sooo....... go ahead, give it a try.
