I fmq'd a queen size flannel quilt on my Bernina 830 Record! I had many suggestions from folks here on QB, and used lots of them. Thank you, everyone! I quilted leaves in the big blocks, sashing and outer border, and cross hatched the inner border and four patch blocks. I am really happy with the way it turned out! I also found Leah Day's blog post "How do I quilt this?" VERY helpful. Here's the link:

How long did it take you to quilt this? I have one that's flannel, also to quilt. Been thinking about sending it to a long arm quilter, tho. Did you put batting in it? Flannel back? I haven't sandwiched mine yet, but would love to get started on it.

You've done a great job on this.

The link is in my original post. Good luck with yours!
