    Thank you Gay--wish I felt confident enough to do an all over scroll but the only thing I've ever done is straight lines so I will have to practice on something smaller first. 😀

    Thank you quiltnnan--I may try this one but will draw lines on the quilt with disappearing pen so I don't get off track.

    Thank you native Texan--that's a good idea! I will look some up while at my dr appt this morning.

    A beautiful quilt - can't wait to see the quilting you decide on! Sorry, I have no opinion here.

    Thank you Tartan! I didnt know that so will definitely keep that in mind if I SITD.
