The panto you chose is pretty and looks nice, but if CP was expecting a different motif inside each ring, well think how you would feel. As long as she gave approval first you did not mess up.
Doesn't your machine have a computerized set up? There are digital designs out there made specifically for quilting DWR quilts. They are beautiful and only require you to line up the machine head properly for the computer to execute the design for you. That may be something to consider in the future.
Yes, I did talk to her about it. She knows my limitations as a new quilter. I do not have a digital setup on my machine. It is strictly pantographs or free motion. I can trace a design on a top and then freehand it. But, my control is not that good yet. I haven't gotten to practice the detailed quilting as much as I would like to yet. But, I am getting there.
