Hi. Some months ago, I posted a picture of the starflower quilt that I am not crazy about. Since then, I have done the repairs around the outside and will be finished sewing on the binding this week. Below are pix ... one is the same starflower picture I posted before; the other is the design that I will be hand quilting in each of the 100 blocks. Note 2 things please:
1. I'm not buying more thread for the hand quilting. I own dark blue, bright red, variegated red, vari. blue, vari. purple, and med. burgundy. The med. burgundy is my color of choice + I have 2 full spools of it, but only one each of the others.
2. The backing is black, also, so the design in burgundy will stick out like a sore thumb on the back. However, I'm planning to go around each of the melons one more time (because they need it!) but this time with the burgundy thread using a tiny zig-zag stitch. I'm thinking with both the zig-zag melons and the hand-stitched block centers in the burgundy color, the back should look o.k. too.
Whatcha think, please?
