I agree practice makes all the difference.

So how is this to quilt to?
I should play this when my youngest daughter is around. She hates the Black Eyed Peas and I enjoy their music. :lol:

Isn't it funny that when we were growing up our parents music was horrible, but our children now eagerly listen to music we grew up with. I think it's too funny!

I actually love my moms music, even the big band stuff that my dad likes, I have very eclectic tastes, there is very little that I won't listen to,

Rock band and guitar hero has played a big part in bringing back a lot of it,


We are bizzar, I have blown several sets of car speakers, plus music is also very therapudic and it helps when I am having an off moment or day.

My issue is that I can't remember half of the names of the groups, some are just to weird, the kids like to sing and stuff, Hammy just played Violet in Charlie and the Chocolate factory. I transfered all the kids music to my computer so that I could put it on my ipod,

I have to work in a small area and move forward. It's just what works for me.

After I do a large stipple or meandering top to bottom and side to side through the center - I go any and all directions to quilt where I need to quilt, I always quilt next to quilting. When I'm done you can't tell how I did it. Works well for me. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Thanks for all the suggestions -- I've put it off long enough. I'm definitely going to start quilting next week. I usually only get one quilted per winter (am I slow or what) so hope this will go a lot faster. I'll get that music started and put the pedal to the metal!
