It does have a ton of seams but so far my Q24 is handling them just fine and the tension is perfect. Thank you all for your compliments, it will be a true learning experience.

That quilt looks like it was a long time in the making. So many pieces and colors! I look forward to seeing how you quilt this baby.:thumbup:

So I’ve already had to pull some stitches as I got off track with my cross hatching in the checkerboard squares yesterday. (first pic) I am mostly using a straight ruler for SITD as I don’t want to take too much away from the blocks themselves. (second photo) I will have a lot of threads to bury when I take it off the LA ��

As I suspected, I ran into some trouble at the end of the quilt...the bottom left corner was a bit wonky so I had to work the Round the World block in to get it square. I basted the sides and bottom before quilting the last section of the quilt and I ended up with a couple of wrinkles but I think once it’s washed you won’t know they are there. : /

I have left the quilt on the frame until I decide if I want to go back and do any more quilting in certain areas. Thank you for your comments...it has been a great experience.

Your quilting looks wonderful and the stitches are so consistent on your Bernina. I can only imagine how fun it must be to turn out such great results on your new Q! Congratulations - it looks fabulous :)
