Other than that, it's a very cute quilt and I cannot wait to see it finished. |
I think I would go with a green to match background fabric so it doesn't compete with your beautiful butterflies.

I think I would use the irridesent thread also!

Hey, not to change the subject completely....but..I keep looking at that cat and can't figure out if he's had a complete haircut, minus the neck and under-chin area, or if he's some breed I've never heard about that has a "lion's mane". I love cats of all kinds, though I only have 3 now. But yours is a stumper. Ruth

I have to agree with sewjoyce also. If you use a color close to the color of the butterfly, it won't stand out and define it.
