I agree with the others - I didn't "notice" the seams. I had to look for them.

It looks beautiful just the way it is. I, also have had seams show through and I simply "ignored" it and went on. Sometimes things like this are what make a quilt a QUILT ! They will love it and probably not know the difference. It is beautfully done.

Finish the quilt as is; it is beautiful, your work is lovely. Then add this one to your dossier when you apply for a job with the quilting police.....

Hi Katie,
Your quilt looks just fine to me! I like it!!

Personally, I don't think that the seam lines are distracting at all. Did you use a white batting like white Warm & Natural? I like the quilt a lot and don't see anything wrong with it. I know that if you're using a lot of black in a quilt, it helps to buy the black batting, can't remember the manufacturer, and maybe next time you're using a lot of white in the background of a quilt to use the white batting. Great job though - I love black and white quilts, in fact I just finished a black/white log cabin for this year's family reunion and I think it looks great.

Quilt down the seams, use them as a guide, it will enhance the quilting, just a thought. but it is lovely

I am a perfectionist & very anal about these things BUT I do not see a problem. Your seams are straight & we all know you can't sew anything without seams so I guess what I want to say is "Don't sweat the small stuff". Your quilt is gorgeous & once it's quilted the seams will melt into the finished quilt. Don't be so hard on yourself. It's a real beauty.

Your quilt is beautiful. That black and white is so crisp. I do not think the seams are particularly noticeable because quilts have seams. However, if they bother you they must be addressed. Another alternative would be to use a fusible batting and adhere a plain white fabric to the front of it and sandwich your quilt with that using Elmer's glue, basting or pins that you normally use. Then, when you wash it prior to giving it to your nephew and wife, all the glue washes away.

My quick fix would be to just sew a line down the seam allowance. It would then become part of the quilt design. No one will ever know that it wasn't what you planned to do. The quilt is lovely and your nephew will love it.

Honestly, I never noticed the seams. I was busy looking at the pattern. You did a good job. I would find the whitest batting and I think that might help.
