    Someone told me that if your blocks are all straight lines, your quilting should be curved lines and vica versa.

    Hi I am new here, I have been quilting for over 30 years.
    I also own a long arm quilting machine.
    I just wanted to say that I hand quilt also, and baste my quilt on my longarm. I used to do this for customers for about $30.00. Saves lots of back breaking pinning and bending.
    Also wanted to say that the quilt looks great, and I would not fix the patch out of place. I love uniqueness in a quilt and rarely fix mistakes. I leave them in place for a reminder of how only God is perfect.
    I agree with the other hand quilter, straight lines are a great way to begin learning handquilting. If you begin with lots of twisting and turning, because of your inexperience, you may not want to continue.
    Good luck

    I am a little concerned that I will be able to hand quilt through the basting spray. I did use it very lightly since I put a few pins in as well.
    Thanks for the suggestions.
    This is beautiful and whatever you do will be good.

    I couldn't agree more. Great quilt, and I think you'll love hand quilting and the look you'll achieve, no matter what pattern you choose.

    What a lovely quilt. Hand quilting it will make it all the prettier! Outline the triangles would be my thoughts. Just lovely.
