I agree with Shelbie. This quilt is much to beautiful to be used for learning how to machine quilt. The cost to have it long armed would be well worth it even if money is tight.

WOW! That is really pretty. For me, the least amount of quilting is better. Just my humble opinion.

My only suggestion would be to not overquilt....you have a very busy (and beautiful) quilt and you want the design you have created to show. Overquilting tends to make the design and fabrics disappear. Just my honest opinion :lol:

Start by resting a bit. That is one large quilt and so labor intensive. It's gorgeous. Just don't take away from the pattern. Do any fancy stuff in the plain areas around the outside. Love it.
