However, I do think your time spent marking your Carolina Lily quilt will be so worth the effort, I think the quilting will stand out more on the white fabric so you do want it to look great! Good luck, you are a braver woman than me, quilting a giant like that on a domestic machine!!

I have learned my lesson the hard way also. Not sure if a light bulb went off, or I have just gotten wise. It is worth all the effort! Maybe I realize I don't have forever to get to my goal of a great quilt, so now I put more effort into each quilt I make.Carla A Few Of My Favorite Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782840958923418159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2391988816380415741.post-79599260491862534582013-08-06T06:21:22.635+10:002013-08-06T06:21:22.635+10:00Good luck!

Think of it as a learning experience. The Carolina Lily is so pretty and I agree with the others that given its size and the amount of work that you've already invested, that marking the top will be time well spent so that the process of quilting will be as stress-free as possible! I'm really looking forward to following your progress on this one!Karen Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01166374693095867682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2391988816380415741.post-4785238967360697532013-08-05T23:56:45.259+10:002013-08-05T23:56:45.259+10:00It's going to be awesome when you're done....It's going to be awesome when you're done.

Machine quilting one this large is daunting to be sure, the last one I did of this size took 2 1/2 months of machine quilting - two to four hours each day. But certainly worth it in the end!

Marking the lines is a way to make sure it turns out how you want it to. I have only tried to machine quilt a couple times - your marking first is something I will remember - I know I won't be able to hand quilt forever.
