Thank you - I like the idea of the monofilament where I don't want the quilting to dominate. Maybe free motion lines in some areas and the feathers in the areas I want to emphasise, ie the bluey green sections that go through diagonally on each side and the red sections that make the background diamond? I'm a fairly confident FMQer but on my 6600 (no LA sadly!) so I don't want to be twisting and turning too much this size of top! Andi yours is beautiful and makes me want to do the feathers at least! :-D
