This looks fabulous and taking your time to do it to your liking has paid off. There are a lot of intricate little details in that panel, like outlining the dinosaurs and the words, that have to be done slowly if you want any degree of accuracy. And your clamshells are divine! I am also in the molasses camp. And while it may take me longer than some to finish a quilt I am still faster than the 4+ years it took me on average to complete a handquilted queen size quilt.
