I'm happy to say I got this bad boy done with 1 day to spare. It's the Wings in a Prayer Forest Floor that I made back in I think 2017 or 2018. My sister claimed it back then but I finally got it custom quilted this month. I decided to try various options on my IQ robotics as I've had it since maybe 2015 and haven't really tested out all it can do for me.
I decided to do cross hatching by using "line" due to the fact my motor wheels are not working as they should and shifting off about a 1/4" one way or the other so I did the cross hatching manually 1 line across the entire quilt at a time x 4 sides. There were over 20 separate lines going about 73 inches across and took 2.5 minutes to stitch out. Once I got the hang of it, it went much faster and smoother. Then I tried recording around the leaf motifs. Luckily if you didn't like your 1st try at it, you could cancel and restart which I did many times as my hands shake alot. Then to surround the leaf motif blocks I wanted to add straight lines going up and down continuously but not stitch across the motif so I had to cut out what I didn't want or what's called "clipping". Okay, got that figured out. Then I decided I could get it much closer around the motif if I split and cut out what I didn't want. So used line, clipping, recording, spitting on this quilt and I'm fairly happy with how it all turned out. My sister won't mind and I won'ttell her where I might have screwed up.
Oh yes, I also basted the entire quilt completely around the sides and then every length of my machine going across. Then I stitched in the ditch around every block. Of course I wasn't perfect but with practice I'll get better. So used a lot of new techniques on this quilt. Here are some photos of my January UFO finish. Got the binding done today.
