Tessagin, thanks. This paint color is (I think) either Banana Custard or Coconut Custard (something like that--very pale yellow) by Behr (Home Depot). The room colors are completely different from the ones in the rest of my house (which are earth tones) and the girliest of all rooms in my male-dominated house!
I haven't made a quilt larger than about 65x72 or thereabouts, so haven't needed a longarmer. I bought this machine for its 11" throat, which handles that size like a dream, and I have no doubt it could handle larger.
