Your quilting certainly looks good here. I love the paw prints and the words; they definitely add to your already lovely quilt.

I feel exactly like that! And I do chant things in my head for repetitive designs. It's like when people mumble while they are dancing "right foot in, left foot back step, step, twirl" LOL. <br />Your pawprint quilting and Patch and Toby's names turned out wonderfully! I just might borrow your motif when I quilt up my own Dog Gone Cute quilt!

Your quilting looks great. I'm also a piecer and sometimes I think quilting is fun...that's usually when I've given up all hope of getting the result I want and settle in for what I can do. Which new Janome do you have. I'm saving up for a new one at the moment.Lisa J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16367339236614679822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7365133311894008279.post-27207237862024523062015-09-10T22:19:18.662+01:002015-09-10T22:19:18.662+01:00I am a piecer too.

That being said I think nowadays I'm more of a quilter than a piecer, and I am yearning for a long arm to make things easier (the constant pain in my shoulder blade this past fortnight may have something to do with it).

And yes, I do like to think through all of my quilting designs. I encourage my students to do the same thing. For example I see tiger stripe quilting, but some see flame quilting.
