So many good ideas! Thank you! As for the cat, that was the look I got AFTER chasing her off the quilt!
My machine has over 100 stitches so I can check them out.I have a walking foot, and was definitely planning on practicing before I settle on anything as I'm out in the sticks so unless online,there are no classes here.
I have spent alot of time watching YouTube and other tutorials-the internet is a font of useful(and useless) info!
I will be working on the border today and hopefully will be "quilting" this weekend. Thank you for your help, this board has been so informative. I learn something on any thread! I'll be sure to post the completed piece.
