OOooooh, Pat, that is such a great idea about the dark background. I love quilts with a dark background. Hm, I think I'm going to have to give this a bit more thought concerning color.
It's a bummer a few of us don't live closer so we could share the software. It'd be fun to get together once a week for an afternoon of sewing. I have a couple groups I do this with and it is so much fun!!! Not to mention I sure learn a lot from everyone, which I love.
