RRyder, I just ordered some more colors from YLI for the "regular" stitching. That's what I'm liking best so far in this quilt. And I think what I will do is play with doing some bobbin work on my DSM after I add the colors.
Maybe this "practice" piece will get quilted to death... then I'll do one more that I hope will be closer to my "final version".
I'm expecting one of my regular customers to come by before too long, so I'll have to do those quilts before I get to the actual Lone Star that this design is going to sit on.
In a way, I'm sad that I don't have too many LA customers - not much income there...
But on the other hand, since I'm back on my "real" job, I don't stress about having a bunch of quilts waiting to be done.
Speaking of which, I just remembered I have two charity quilts (QOV) waiting in the wings. Those will need to be done by September (the next LA guild meeting that I can get to). So, not a lot of stress there either.
