Default Machine quilting valour

A QB member sent me these two pieces of valour and asked me to quilt them for her. Actually she sent me a whole box full of different ones to do. Have any of you ever quilted valour on your long arm machines? I have done a couple of these so far. The first ones were sent off before I took pictures. They were a rush job for baby gifts. These will be used for snuggling, I'm sure. They are so soft. Looking back, I wish I had used a much darker thread so it would show up better on the solid light colored top. What do you think? The photo shows both front and back.

When I think of the old velour, I think of something very stretchy, like the old velour jogging outfits. The pieces you received look really snuggly! Great job.

Velour doesn't seem that different from minkee--just more stable. I like the idea--very soft and warm.
