I am so sorry that the quilt hasn't talked to you yet. I would not SID though but my suggestion is look under pictures here for "Charisma". She is my idol when it comes to quilting and you may get some ideas from her pictures.
pricing structure based on the type of quilting that is done, but recently I was wondering if she, or any other fantastic long arm quilter ever does or would provide a design for a quilt to be done by those of us who like to FMQ, but don't have the creativity gene.... thoughts? This would be something that we'd naturally pay for, but I think may be well worth the money.

I think you can do anything you set your mind too. I go through the pictures of other longarmers and see what kind of designs they put on different quilts to get some inspiration, if the quilt I have isn't talking to me.... I do think that you really don't want to take off of your beautiful work, so I would suggest Googling for quilting designs and find some all over pattern that incorporates eagles, and trees, etc. That of course is my opinion....
