I think the "Connecting Threads" stone colour will be about that colour. This quilt will not be leaving home to go to anyone. It is just an experiment to see if I can actually do quilting.
I got some brown masking tape at onme of the Dollar stores. It's one inch wide, so that is how far apart my line of stitches will be. I'm guessing that is OK. In some videos, the thread lines have been farther than that.
