I have been looking at all your work for over 5 years. I am amazed at some of it. There is so much talent I am having feelings of inferiority.

I have been working on a Hunter's Star since October and am seeing the end. My problem is how do I quilt it. I have a longarm but I am not very good at it. Suggestions for quilt design would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome from Ontario, Canada. Pick a quilting design that you think you can do well. I would suggest a large meander but I find that is actually pretty hard to get smooth curves for a beginner. Try a design that lets you rest in spots like a loop de loop or loops and stars. Does you machine have a pantograph you can use?

Welcome from Florida. It's a wonderful group of people, everyone is so helpful. I usually go with a large meander also.

Welcome, from Texas! Sorry I can't help with the LA quilting question; I quilt on my DSM and usually just do outline stitching.
