Thank you for the replies.
Nan, the back is the solid misty green. It pretty much mimics the front with SID and the straight line quilting. I'm not sure the decorative stitch would detract or enhance it either way.
Tumblebug and Tartan, I have used the decorative stitches on other quilts, usually a kid quilt, and yes I have had distortion usually caused by weight drag. I am quilting on my diningroom table in the hopes of eliminating most of that. If I do the straight line, how many rows do you think would be good? I had planned & marked for a center row. I think straight line will require more.? At least 2 rows in the inner border and 3 or 4 in the outer.
Thanks again,
Susan
