I would start in the middle for whole cloth quilting...or really wavy quilts....and also double wedding rings.

Wow! That shouldn't be a problem then :) Thanks!
I am reallt trying to finish it so I can ask you to quilt it!
The biggest width I can quilt is about 130 inches...length can be anything. Thanks for asking!

I didn't really have to read this quilt per se....I did alot of fill in work to make all the designs pop out.
I stippled throughout the center so that the designs would pop out..and I pebbled in the black fabric with vines so the vines would raise out. I quilted a wavy crosshatch in the four-patches and a simple outlined in the green. IN the border I simply just used the two types of leaves that were in the border fabric and mimiced them in a design to cover it...I think it looks great! It is a beautiful quilt and it is a mammoth ..I can't get a full picture on my King Size bed as it hangs over.Beautiful peicing..no issues...Great gal to work with!
I quilted this freehand on my INNOVA. No computer or pantograph quilting.
Thank you for looking!
