Karen, you did a wonderful job, I would really like to see a picture of the complete quilt. It's a Welsh design, isn't it?
Beautiful and marvellous stitching!
I agree with Andrea. Beautiful quilt, Karen! I would love to see it, too. I really like the colors, and I love the idea of using a slightly darker thread than the quilt top so the quilting looks almost like a shadow. I'm afraid too dark would just over power the beautiful design.
Thanks for all the input. I'm leaning towards the greens as well. I figure I'd take both with me the weekend and see what hits me when I'm there. I'm JUST about done quilting the table runner, and only have a day or two before that one's done. DH asked this morning why I'm doing another table topper. Like there could ever be too many quilts! I told him it's our "summer topper". ha ha. He still doesn't get me. :)
