I picked up a wonderful big spool of varigated thread for a quilt. I was working up my courage to do FMQ on a twin size top. Well, it took my a while and when it came time to do it, I didn't have quite enough thread. I knew I'd never be able to find it (picked it up somewhere on a shop hop) so ended up stitching the feather border and doing the spine in a solid colour. I over buy thread now because I have thread trauma. This FMQ is fraught with hidden pitfalls and I seem to find them all.
