I called it "the beast. I just finished a raffle quilt for my church. It is a Broken Lone Star from a kit made in the 70's It had several issues including the fact that it had a "colors may bleed or run" (say, what?) warning that nobody seemed to notice until I was quilting it. I used CCs (never ending) and feather wreaths. But there was still some fullness in the corners and blocks.
So I posted my question on Machine Quilters Resource on Design Help asking "do I really need to stipple the wreath blocks?". I was being lazy and did not want to stipple the blocks, too. But everybody agreed that the stipple was needed.
I had been looking at this beast for a week and I just hated it. But after the stipple, it looked finished and the wonkiness was gone. It is so wonderful to get advice from pros.
