Jaba, I have seen many beautiful quilts from this ride, but I really love yours. It must be the batiks.
Also, what tips do you have for keeping the back square with the top when quilting.

Thank you so much! Appreciate your comments. As far as tips go, measure carefully and on the long arm table I make sure to have my tension on the rollers for the top and bottom the same or close to the same as I can get it. This way it tightens both pieces without stretching one more than the other.
