Oh, also, does anyone know how I can make the circle things look more like a 4-petal flower? I've seen the same basic lines show as a flower, but I can't figure out what they did differently than me.
Is it just a matter of the right thread? I'm using Aurifil Bari to quilt the whole thing -- except maybe the borders. Perhaps using the light thread (instead of the green marker) will make it stick out better against the darker blocks???
