I might do that soon so I an take the rest of the pins out, but I have the worst luck with machine quilting anything bigger than a placemat

Had to laugh sort of. My neighbor had to finish a quilt for her ex. Yep court said so. So she stapled it. Inch apart. Her son a contractor helped her. She put a whole new meaning to "hand quilting". Even stapled the binding.

Hand quilting looks great to me. I like the staples idea. I think a judge should stay out of it.

Looks like you are just having a great lot of fun trying out your own ideas and stitches and doing a fine job of it too.
