For now, I've bound it as was and put it up. It does seem to be controlling the climate down there a little better. I figure I can always add quilting to it later if I want.
I love the JN quilts as well, they scare me though. I'm just not an accurate enough piecer to do one justice. One of the shops about 1 1/2 hours from us is JN certified and I remember being in there one day and the instructor (who was selling me fabric) said you can do that! If you can sew a straight line you can don one! I looked at him and said I -can't- sew a straight line that's why I free motion! The gal behind me almost spit her coffee out.
