Because the fine threads are difficult to see, occasionally I have quilted from the back (once the cubes are SID so I can leave them clear) and found it much easier. I try to do some fmq in the borders which has something to do with the fabric or theme, but sometimes a plain border is better.
And yes dont those triangles for the big cubes look weird:lol:
It's only when you have all the bits up you can "see" it! When I did Ice Follies I spent alot of time walking around with my "plan" in my hand!
Mine are now done (but not sewn together) amazing how much I got done while the family was away camping, lol.
DD came in and said "cool Mum, but is this supposed to be like this? She picked up on a mistake that I didn't see, even though I have done nothing but look at it for 4 days, lucky it's a easy fix.
