It's only ok from a distance and the blending thread helps. Up close you can see lots of places where it's gone off course, and travelling stitches have travelled miles away from the previous line! This was only a small sample piece, I can't imagine how I'd manage a quilt sized piece! QAYG would be the only option, I think.
Thanks for the nice comments though, gives me hope that some day I might be able to do this.
