This was my first all over free motion (swirls) and it is heavily quilted as I still have not perfected the process of moving it around easily on my sewing machine. I also worried about the backing from JoAnn's shrinking too much. I decided in the midst of a snow storm that my uneven stitches would show too much on a plain color so had to shop local. Overall I am satisfied with it despite a few puckers (or kisses as somebody referred to them).
    Incredible and beautiful!!! I can't even imagine how you did it--is that all applique? Did you hire a seven foot man to hold it up so you could photograph it? The border is wonderful, leaking over the edge. (from potwoman)
