Thank you, Andrea -- that is interesting about the old quilts.
And, that's OK, lots2do. Same idea, different tool is all.
I'm thinking if I choose mainly stitches where the back looks like a running stitch or backstitch, the back of the quilt should look fine. Different from the front but not bad. I hope LOL . I'll do a little practice piece or two with the actual fabrics and shapes before I start the real thing. I hate to take things out and start over.
