Patience

I just got back from Paducah, KY where I attended the AQS show and many other exhibits and shops.  It was so inspiring.  I decided to reevaluate my quilt, "Christina", since it was not accepted into the Paducah show.  I hope to try again in other shows.  

Here is the background quilting that just never felt right.  I looked and looked for a better design and finally found one at Hobby Lobby in the wall stencil area.  

So with much "patience", I started ripping out those background designs.  It takes a long time...

Got one part done and couldn't wait to try my new motif...

Ahhhh, so much better!!   I will continue this design throughout the quilt.  I know I will be a lot happier with it.

Now to figure out how to make my borders better, hmmmm

Meanwhile, I have been fmq-ing my niece's wedding siggy quilt.  Almost finished. Here's a teaser:
