What batting are you using? I have noticed that 100% cotton and 80/20 batting are more solid than polyester. Polyester batting is more "see through" than cotton, in my experience, allowing more of the backing color to influence the quilt top.

I am trying to see what is so distracting in the quilt and sorry to say I can not find anything that is distracting. What I do see is a quilt that has geometrical lines and angles that are pleasing to the modern eye. Beautiful quilt!

Everyone has given fantastic advice, thinking outside the box.
How are you going to quilt it. If you are using a colour or even a pattern over the seam area making the
Line look part of the design.
Hope this helps.
The quilt is wonderful seams great and if it was mine would be going in a show.

I don't see it as a problem either. It looks like that is part of the design......I would leave it!

I agree! I think they just add another interesting element to the quilt so I would leave them. Then just remember some of the tips for avoiding it the next time. The quilt is pretty!

This would be my suggestion too. Quilting at a 1/4 inch will enhance the look and it will become a part of the quilt. If you were going to do some beautiful curved quilting, this would not be viable. Your quilt is beautiful. Good luck and please let us see what you decide to do.

Actually, I think it looks like part of the design. It's a great quilt. He's going to love it.

You could put a white inner backing between the batting and the grey backing.

have to agree that the seams don't matter to me, and they actually and one more element to the design which is not detracting.
peace

Ditto on being our own worst critics. I think the quilt is beautiful and no one will be distracted by the seams. They are the best seams I've ever seen and mine certainly wouldn't look that good. Be proud of your work and quilt away. Your nephew will love it for sure!
