Thanks!

I'm not sure how long it will take. Lots of the people who are on the homequilting systems yahoo group are talking about SITD first for a quilt, then going back and doing the areas. That's a lot of work. If I do it that way,... weeks. The other quilts I've done on this frame (4 charity quilts) haven't been SITD and took virtually no time at all, but I can see the value in it, and most of the most beautifully quilted quilts are SITD and FMQed. I'm terrible at following lines, so I'm a little hesitant to do the SITD, but what if I don't and I'm disappointed? Eeek! performance anxiety!

I also found out that I should have been working on a lap quilt, because the APQS dealer has a "road show" this Monday (I lost track of time) that I wanted to go to, to try out their machines and they say to bring a quilt, crib to lap size. Oops. Maybe I can hack something together.

That wall hanging is just a panel from Northcott. I have it hanging there to make me think about what I want to do with it. Part of how I decide on projects.
