"Hope is the Thing with Feathers..." Emily Dickinson
I decided to tack it in black embroidery thread, I figured it should show the least if tightened well. I was going to go with dark green to match the back, but that would mess up the summer patch. The small tight black points should accentuate cornering in the patches if nothing else. I’m unsure about whether to quilt first or tack and am leaning towards the tacking for the reason of stability. The only quilting towards the center are the vines between the patches; the quilted vines along the side comes next and then the points. Does this sound reasonable?
