Just sent my answers. We have SUN today!!! I am stuck at work. Was working on the rug last night, un-stitched the first set of quilting. Second one looks better, but still may take a part of it out. I think sometimes less is more, I am trying to learn machine quilting so need to hide the strings then will decide what to remove. Who ever is my partner, hope you like it and remember I am learning new things. An you are the guinea pig.
