This is just as right as rain! Welcome back to quilting. As far as the thread not showing, you may be remembering that you don't want your piecing thread to show at your seams. Sometimes if you have loose stitching, when you press your seam open the thread will show. It is not a sin but not as attractive as a nice smooth clean seam and loose stitching leads to weak seams.

Enjoy your hand quilting and let it show ! :thumbup: :thumbup:

EDIT: Just saw your beauty. Could you give me some tips. It is FABULOUS!
peace
