I am far too inexperienced to answer your question but I wanted to welcome you to the board and was going to also mention that you'll likely receive great advice by the generous and well experienced folks on here - just like the input you've already received from Feline Fanatic
Feline Fanatic - your work is absolutely, incredibly beautiful! Now I must get back to my sewing table and persist with my work on Clue #2 for the BH Mystery - working on my technique in hopes I might someday post lovely quilts like yours! Thanks for sharing.
