Thank you, Rhonda! Now that it's almost done, I realize how much I enjoyed making it despite all my complaining. As with a lot of things, the pain was in planning the unknown.
Speaking of which....I sewed about 3" with the wavy stitch, looked it over and decided I hated it. Dang! it looked like it would work on the sample but it clashed with the puppies. Whodathunk?
My machine has a quilting stitch that looks like it's a hand-made stitch so I'm using that. It's a variation of a straight stitch so corners should be easy.
I took your advice, though, and I'm stitching straight across the top and bottom so all I have to worry about "joining" are the vertical lines. You're a genius! Thank you!
