Great colours and quilt!!! What about something organic in nature to cut back on the right angles of all the squares - variegated or even metallic thread.

Thank the stars I'm seeing blue sky for the first time in weeks! I just watched the latest show yesterday and think I have a new favorite style for quilting bed quilts. I hope all that straight :D line stitching doesn't get too boring, I'll have to keep the audiobooks and music blasting, but wow, what a way to finish a quilt!

Looking forward to see it quilted too Marilyn! It is a beautiful top and sure will turn out awesome when quilted :) Now that you've pass "the hot potato" to me, you probably will have it done in no time. No pressure :)

Just to catch up here...I did do some quilting on this quilt ....did a sample from
the back but found I wasn't happy with the look on the top...the pattern just didn't
fit ! So worked up a plan on the top as usual and is better, I think. Then big Bernie
balked and had to go the the shop...Chinese Whispers intervened...now maybe I can
get back to it ! Will post when I can get it finished. :roll: :roll: :D

Marilyn, I just stumbled onto this topic (thread, whatever you call it - lol) and I just love, love, love your quilt. Have you quilted it yet? And if so, how do you like the end result. I've wondered about quilting things from the back myself.

I love this quilt! I think black thread would be great for quilting it. It looks like the squares are fairly small, so you would probably want a small quilt pattern whatever you decide on.

Marilyn - I, too, think that would be wonderful quilting for this quilt! Enjoy the Rainbows thread! Like Rita, I'm a big fan!

Marilyn if you have not used Rainbow threads before you are in for a treat! They are so lovely when you are quilting and the variegation is just gorgeous. I did not even see the fabrics on the Superior Threads website - I have just been scrolling through all of them looking for something as the background for my spools quilt. What a fantastic selection. :D
