The whole process took me so much less time from set to to the actual quilting - and I had a great time! I would be still working on the fmq if I hadn't rented the machine. My daughter had also requested books at her shower - I decided to make one of those fabric panel books (also a first for me), just to be sure I wouldn't duplicate a book someone else might give her.
What a great job you did! I just got my new long arm up and running last week. I did 2 Quilts for Kids on it and am working on one for myself, but ran out of thread. I was surprised how much thread it takes, but how fast it goes. I am going to do several tops so I can do one right after the other. Have ordered some wide quilt backing so I can do 2 side by side as has already been mentioned. Now start saving your pennies so you can get your own.
:roll: :lol:

Cute quilt. Love the elephants. Good job on the quilting, as well.
The elephants reminds me of a cake decorating class I took a million years ago. We made a cake with pink, drunken elephants crawling on, in, and out of the cake. It was so cute.
