I started to sew the sections together, but I have stayed away from this section until I can decide if I can live with this cup. The other issue is that I don&#8217;t have a replacement design in mind. I really want to get this top off the design wall in one piece and do something easy.<\/p>\n<p>I am shocked to admit that quilting this myself actually entered my mind last night, as I worked on <a href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2009\/06\/beach-town-progress-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Beach Town<\/a>. This piece is pretty large, so I&#8217;ll have to really think about that. Beach Town is small and I am still working on the last bits. The last quilt I tried to quilt was <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/quilts-2\/quilts\/seeing-red\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Seeing Red<\/a>.
