Hand quilting woes

This is most of my T-square quilt, a work in progress for the last three years. It was my first real venture into serious quiltmaking, and I had fun choosing the colours (from Mom's stash! Thanks again) and figuring out how to move the colours from one corner to another. I definitely did not have fun piecing all those half square triangels, but its not too bad, considering. I'm hand quilting a wind pattern through the whole thing (it should be visible if you click on the photo) and was planning to meander or stipple on all the light Ts. I picked this up last week after a year away, and was bored with the stipple, so I tried some other patterns for variety -- and now I don't like any of it. I thought I would post it for some other ideas before I pick out the hand quilting. The thought of taking out all the stitches puts me in a bad mood, but if I start over, maybe I can choose a less dense and labour intensive pattern. I was going to go with freehand fans and forget the wind pattern, but friends who saw it convinced me to continue.

and yes, this is a long, skinny quilt, meant for the tall wall on the top of my staircase landing. There's several rows more than pictured.

One more thing: Now that I've looked at the picture more closely, I'm definitely going to take out the fans in the light Ts. They're not doing anything for me. I'm still waffling about picking out the dense stipple in the top rows, and replacing them with a meandering outline inside the T. And for the record, I like handquilting, even over the seam allowances. But I really want to be done with this project, and it's so close.
