Well, it's done. Seville is finally quilted and ready for binding.
I tried to do something elaborate but it ended up looking like H-E-DoubleHockeySticks so in the end I kept it simple and much more within my skill range:

There was too much intersecting going on with the "lattice" sashing. Everything I tried looked either not quilted enough, or too ugly where the intersections met. In the end, I decided to quilt only on the coloured fabrics and leave the cream latticework alone. I'll post a picture of the full quilt once I get the binding sewed down. We're having a major snow day here today so in goes the new Dark Knight movie, out comes the thimble!
Oh, there was also a fabric arrival this week. I was REQUIRED to buy this one, considering who my four-legged roommates are:
I think you are too hard on yourself. You FMQ looks great! I like the fancy jester hat in the intersection area. I have been taking the challenge for the past year, but I only do it about once a month or so because I hand quilt steady for commissioned work. Not quality time to practice; so each time I sit to do it; it's like starting all over again...hang in there; yours looks good.
