Can relate! I'm just starting a B&W but using black thread on big white blocks. I use a #10 Roxanne and just my GUtermann's thread. I use Dream Orient Batting - silk, bamboo, cotton & ?Tercel? It's wonderful to quilt through.! No hope or frame either. My stitches are not really small, but they are becoming more even and I'm happy with that. We could call it "Sashiko"!

I never considered wool but will give it a try next time around. Of course this one is driving me crazy because it is a black and white quilt, black backing and white thread so every stitch is screaming "look at me!!" lol
