I am not a feather gal, more of a swirly and pebbly. Recommendations & ideas from these very talented quilters on this board will be appreciated. If all else fails, I will buy the pattern from Judy Niemeyer's website and have a friend do it on her Gammil with the Statler Stitcher. She will be starting her BWS soon and I am hoping she will let me put in some work time with her instead of a massive quilting fee.
I just clicked on your website. Maybe I should ask you for a quote and/or suggestions. If I end up doing it, it will be a while, if ever, before my skills will be anything near the level this quilt demands to enhance it's beauty. I don't see a BWS in your gallery. Sure wish you had one posted. I would love to see one.

I was lucky that a friend helped me when I was starting the quilt. With the starts and stops I have done with this, I have to get the pattern out and re-read sections and re-learn parts that I am working on every time.
If you ever get a chance to take a class with Judy Niemeyer, or one of her Certified instructors, do it. The techniques are explained in detail. I started Desert Sky after I had the BWS about half done. Desert Sky is a much simpler pattern and does include curves. I believe almost any skill level could do it.
Garden Wall is one of JN's patterns that have no curved pieces and would be a simpler place to start. It does include applique that you can do if you want to. If you ever try one of these and understand how to do it, you will be hooked. The results can be very beautiful.
