You’ve created a beautiful modern quilt that I (and my adult daughter) would love to have in the family room! I have a Juki and a few spools of monofilament thread that I’ve yet to use - glad to hear and see how well it has worked for you!
I, too, like the effect of your vertical lines on the modern design and how the thread faded nicely into the quilt. Fabulous all the way around!
