Wow lots of great suggestions here. Too bad I wimped out and am making mine into a window covering. I think you'll do fine with SITD-you're comfortable with it, it's such a beautiful quilt the fabric speaks for itself. Just go for it. After your FMQ class, make another one and try the swirls and feathers (and make me very jealous). Your friends will love this--who wouldn't??
And it's only polite that you call me MS. CHICKEN LOL.
