Ok i am in a dilly of a pickle. I have my scrap quilt all done and it basted together ready to quilt. I had planned on doing a pin stripe every 6.5 inches ... the back is all black but with a little left over strips from the front. and the thread is pastels ... cause i specifically want the stitching to POP!
Here is the pickle. I was playing with some of the stitching patterns that are programed on the machine. I found this leafy/vine stitch, tried it, loved it! I wanted to incorporate it into the quilt. So i thought of doing alternating, pinstripe|vine|pinstripe|vine with the pinstripes in pastel and the vine in green thread. I just have never had a machine that could do these types of designs. I am nervous that it wouldnt look right.. or it would look tacky. Should i go with it or just stick with the pinstripes?

Any advice would be wonderful!
