Wavy Quilting

I fought so hard to quilt the first seven lines on this quilt.  Took me hours between ripping out the first two lines and dealing with snapped thread.  The next 10 were a little easier and faster.  At that point I wasn't sold on the design, but forged ahead with the last set of lines.  I whipped through those in less than 30 minutes.  Wonderful!  I didn't snap the thread once even though I was cruising along with the walking foot.

I based the quilting on this tutorial.  I wanted to do the criss-crossed lines they described because it looks so cool.  However, now that this quilt has been resting on my design floor for a couple of days, I'm not so sure.  I suspect another set of wavy lines would be too dense.  I don't see a place where a criss-crossed pair of lines would look right.  At this point I should just bind it and be done with the quilt.  I risk ruining it if I try to add any more to it.  It's so hard to know when to stop.

The back is really simple, but I like it almost as much as the front.  I had planned to put corner pockets and a loop on one side to allow using a dowel to hang it.  But now I'm not so sure I want to add anything to the back more than a small corner label.  I had intended this to be a baby quilt, but I liked the idea of using it as a wall hanging.  Well, plenty of ways it could be mounted without me adding pockets and loops.  Let's bind this!
