Can you believe this???? My first full size (extra large full size) quilt on the Longarm. My first try at a Pantogram (Paisley Feathers). No, it is not perfect!!! but I am loving it anyways. It looks pretty good overall. My cat loves it.
It took 5 hours to do, not sure how this measures up to a regular longarmer's time. I was very tired when I finished, but it sure was worth doing it myself. I have only had one lesson and quilted a small lap quilt that I did stars and loops freehand.
I was afraid to look at the finished product yesterday, so I left it in the bag overnight. Was not sure how well the pattern came out with all my nervousness, but it looks good overall. Thankfully, it is really busy.
I am not a great fan of long arm quilting but if I am going to do all the quilts I want, I just cannot hand quilt them all. I have been converted. Same as someone who only pieces by hand, I just don't have the time left in my life to do all that. I still have more than a lifetime of fabric that needs to be turned into something beautiful
