This is also my first machine quilt, from what I read on line , you machine sew the top pieces, then baste, the batting, and then slip stich thr backing together; so it is going to show. It will be like you pieced the back, It is the only way I can do a big quilt on my machine.
Hows the weather there Joy? Warm/ I'm so tired of cold fingers and toes. :lol:
