If my only problem with quilting was the white showing through I would be more than tickled to just do all white quilts, you quilt is beautifully matched up and perfect 1/4" seams. I agree with everyone, even though I'm a beginner I always use white batting, I did buy a King sized BLACK batting for a BLK/WHT quilt I made but decided to use white instead as the Blk would have showed through a lot more blocks than the wht did. It turned out good considering it was my very 1'st actual quilt I made.
