This is a spectacular quilt with wonderful color choices and appliqué; also wonderful binding and FMQ by the applique. But, IMHO, having your LA slap an E2E design over all that special piecing is a travesty bordering on a tragedy; it absolutely ruined all the work you did on all those blocks. Now, that is my opinion and no one needs to respond to it or try to convince me of the necessity of this kind of quilting which is only suitable for Jelly roll strip quilts.
