Proof read this Pattern......???

Is anyone interested in Proof reading this pattern??
Remember this quilt??? Well,  Ive decided to drag it of the cupboard... and finish it off.
Can you tell it has been in there a VERY long time??
As you can see i got to the basting stage... with a million pins. Then, I could never decide how i was going to quilt it. So it went in the cupboard...and i finally decided I would get it out... write the pattern... quilt the poor thing... and FINISH it off!!
I'm still a little undecided on how I should quilt it?? I'm thinking, i will just stipple the whole thing....or maybe wavy lines from left to right?? Any suggestions??
AND..
 Now that Ive nearly finished writing the pattern... I was wondering if anyone is free to read over it before i finish it off?? That would be a HUGE help!! Another set of eyes are always better than just mine. And i think if i asked my hubby... well lets just not go there, i think that's probably stretching the marriage a bit....
And as a thank you..... I could give you a free pattern when its all done?? xx

  2. Its a lovely quilt but I'm no help with quilting advice! I'd be happy to read the pattern for you though! BTW I made one of your birdcage blocks yesterday... It's a wonderfully clear pattern and I'm loving how it turned out. Going to quilt it before I blog about it!

  6. Same here, if you need help just let me know. My suggestion on the quilting would be straight lines (free hand straight) down the quilt at uneven intervals - you could even change the colours (subtly) as you move from right to left (left to right)....

  13. It looks like you have plenty of offers but I would be glad to help as well. If this helps, I did this for a living for a while...proofreading/editing. I have several college students who send me stuff but if you have too many offers already I understand. Your choice. I do love the pattern though. I am loving the wavy lines idea. Especially if they are running opposite. Great idea.

  15. Always happy to help if you need someone still. I love the fact that you ask fellow quilters to proof read for you. Sometimes when I am following a pattern (quilt or bag) I wonder if the author had someone review their work or not - sometimes the instructions just don't make sense so I have to improvise.
