Your story was fascinating, and the quilt did come out quite nice after all that aggravation. (But I LOVE brown.)

I love your story - I could hear it told in how I imagine your New Yoiker voice. :mrgreen: The olive and red is classy and elegant and your ECHO quilting (that's what it's called 8-) ) is great - I would not attempt that by machine because I sew in all my ends by hand and that would drive me nuts. You asked about this - I pull up the bobbin thread at the beginning, leave a few inches of tail then when I have finished, I do a double knot, thread the ends onto a hand sewing needle and weave them into the batting, popping the knot into the hole the threads come out of. With regards to finishing in the place where you start off without it being visible, as I approach the end, I eyeball how many stitches it will take to finish the line then adjust my stitch length so I end up plumb in the starting hole. This is on my domestic of course but I guess you could do the same on an LA, so long as it isn't regulating the stitch length for you. :-D
