I love the pattern, each time you look at it you see something different! My dog has to test out any quilts I put on the floor as well.

Oh, I agree that quilts have a voice of their own! Always best to listen.... This will be beautiful when you finish it!

I can't say they've talked to me, but I know that on occasion I've felt as though I were going into battle and not quilting.

You should be very happy quilting your quilt by hand and when you are finished you will have a treasure. I am not all that familiar with this modern quilting, but it certainly saves time and is beautiful. Yes, the quilt I am making is talking to me. Made a red, white and blue (with star motif, even) for my GGdaughter. I free-motioned the center and it came out beautiful. Then started doing the 6 inch squares around the middle panel. I had no problem with the tension, but when I did the third square I had nips and tucks like you wouldn't believe. you also woulod not bvelieve how long it took me to remove all that wandering stitching, but I did it. Now, I am stabilizing each square before I even start stiching. I awm using high loft batting which make a very pretty back. I still have 4 blocks to quilt on my small Brother quilting machine, then the 8 inch border.
Think I'll do the border in the old fashioned way, just straight along and if it curves a little, will match all the curves and balloons in the center. GFood luck with yur hand quilting, you will be done sooner then you imagined

Wow, love the pastels and design....also think your quilt inspector is adorable! I can't say my quilts always talk to me, but a there has been more than once I had a 'few choice words that I spoke to them!'
