Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the kind words. :) I used regular cotton thread, I don't really like working with monofiliment thread it just seems "unnatural" to me for quilts that I make. If you look at those small dresden plates, you can see the black thread on the tips of the blades since I used black for stitching down around the entire edges of them. But I usually use a color thread that matches the piece being stitched down so that the stitching is not noticeable.
