How in the world did I miss this before? This quilt is amazing and no PP?!?!? Wow you are one very talented piecer! I also love your Texas originals to the quilt and love how you placed the colors of the blocks to give that graduated square on point appearance going from green to peach to blue! Simply inspiring!
I would definitely wait until you get really comfortable with your longarm before putting this baby on the frame.

They were addicitve! I only pieced a few with the applique since I'm not an appliquer and the rest I machine pieced, no PP. I did substitute about 15 blocks with my Texana pieces and others with midget block at random. My favorite is the A&M logo (where my oldest grandson is studying thru the Seaman to Admiral program in the US Navy). Now the hard part of quilting it! I'm very open to suggestions as how to showcase the quilt with the quilting. I just got a LAQ but haven't developed any skills with it.
