It does look a lot better with the markings gone. It's not award-winning, but it's less... less... choaking? Smothering? Whatever it is, I can't put my finger on it. I do love the curlies and I do love the stained glass but together they are like pizza and hot fudge

It's too easy to get carried away when longarm quilting. Quilting should enhance the design; the overall quilting of most LAQ seldom does.

It's lovely, enjoy your beautiful creation.

LOL, I'm going to take that as a compliment?! It's not LA, just my regular machine

I think the quilting is great. I think the problem will resolve itself when the pen marks are gone. IMO, that's what is making it look really dense.

Your quilt is very pretty and think it looks good. We sometimes are our own worst enemies.

I had a similar experience with a flannel quilt, probably almost 1/2 very over quilted, what was I thinking. So I spent the time and with my hand dandy seam ripper, I picked it all out. I was glad I did, much happier with the 2nd time around.

Wouldn't "Quilted to Death" make a great title for a mystery novel?:D It is still beautiful and I agree with not getting the quilting out. I've tried that before and even with washing and ironing I could still see some old needle marks. I use the clear vinyl and a dry erase marker to preview my quilting designs now. What I think will look great quilted on a top sometimes does not suit it after I preview it. It has saved me some quilting mistakes.

I agree wash it and I think you will be happy with it..I think it is just beautiful...what pattern did you use?

Dont judge it until the marks are gone. Right now it still looks a bit raw. I bet you'll love it when it's clean and pristine.
