Congratulations and beautifully done! I love blue and white quilts and your quilt turned out so very well, good for you!
Thank you for the pictures. Though I haven't quilted a large quilt on my machine I have two to do very, very soon.
I have been told, right or wrong, to divide into quadrants, 4ths or strips, depending on how you will quilt...
listen to those who know for sure before me..
I really appreciate when quilters name their source of their pattern which I think is very considerate as well as
acknowledging the makers registration. Thank you.

Great job! My first quilt was a queen, wondered what I was thinking when I tried to quilt it on my little machine! Thanks to the great members on this board, I did quilt it on my machine and it looked great! Biggest help were the experienced quilters that encouraged me to to one section at a time, take your time and don't get discouraged. It took me a long time but I was so proud while I was actually binding it!! You can do it !!!

When I spoke of gluing it in sections I was referring to not trying to put glue on the entire quilt at once, but do it by sections (I said do it by quarters, but doing it by halves might be a better option for you). It is not a problem... I'm not very clever and I've done it (thin lines of glue onto the batting and then start at the center and smooth the fabric down onto the batting, do the other half the same way. If you blob too much glue in a spot, relax, it will all wash out later.
Hope you find a way that is good for YOU!
