I think this piece is just stunning. Go for it. Remember, "mistakes" are sometimes design decision opportunities.

Oh my!!! That is stunning

This is a-m-a-z-i-n-g!!

I wouldn't abandon the idea of a bigger one yet. A good longarmer can give you that density with very little if any distortion. There may be some shrinkage however.
Lovely job!

Wow, it is amazing, it is a great interpretation of winter wind, the quilting certainly looks like cold wind blowing.

WOW!!! Incredible creation. Thanks for the inspiration.

Nicely done! That's one heck of a trial piece! Great job!

That is absolutely gorgeous! I know what you mean about quilting on a domestic machine. I only quilt my small stuff and have to send out anything larger so it will look pretty. You did a fantastic job! Thank you for sharing.

Wow this is stunning!!!!!!! Great work!!!!!
