But after that, I bought a walking foot, and WOW, does that make a difference! I could see myself machine quilting from time to time, too. I should try it out, anyway.

So glad you found the board and finished it. Walking feet make a world of difference when you are sewing. I keep mine on alot of the time. This quilt does not look like a first. You did awesome!!!!
