You're definitely right. I would like to do something different. I was thinking the same thing, find some other quilts and see what elements I like from them. This top seems to have taken on a life of its own, or taken over the dining room at least. I just know it will tell me what it wants.
I finished the top tonight. I need to press it, then I'll load it onto the frame tomorrow. It seems like it took a long time, but it was only about 10 days, and not all of that was dedicated time.
Here's Ronnie, the little featherweight, sewing the last mile:

And the quilt laying on the frame. I guess it's time to untie my curtains and get to work.

Tomorrow morning, I'm going to audition it on the bed. I've been dying to see that.
