One of my favorite patterns and you've used great colors!
Madhatter's advice from experience seems really good when you study her quilt! |

Has anyone else encountered this problem?

I would not use the clear thread for a baby quilt. If there is ever a loose end, it sticks, pokes. It is not a good feeling.

Your quilt is beautiful. Can't wait to see what you decide!

Have you gotten your quilt quilted yet? I was going through pictures last night and found this one of a tumbling block. I sorta stitched "In the ditch", more like "over" the ditch. I used one of the connecting stitches (zigs and zags on each side of the center line). This quilt had wonderful 3-d look to it. One of my grandson's fell in love with it so I gave it to him.

You can follow them down easily if you stitch in the ditch. you only have to zig zag a bit. then go to the next "line" and down again. then across them all.
otherwise you could stitch 1/4 inside each section. that looks good too. |
The purple blocks are gorgeous. Great job.

I would go with the SID too. Yes, it is a lot of work, but think how you will feel when it is completed. AND you don't have to do it all at once. Tell yourself you will set aside a certain amount of time each day. It will soon start to add up. It is gorgeous.
