Hey is there any way you can post a pic? I am working on the same quilt (just started) as my first quilt. Would love to see yours.
As for quilting it... I plan to take leah Day's FMQ class that works on this BOM. I will practice on scraps. Then I will practice some more. After that, well I plan to practice! But eventually I hope to quilt it as Leah Day does in the class.
Best of luckvto you!
