Thanks Ube. That helps. Yes, i remember that now. I used to always press my seams to one side to the darker color instead of open. Dd it with this one too.. I pieced this one with a machine and all the seams are nice a tightly uniform so no problems there. I have my tention set at number 2.
ETA. me? Give you tips? I wish I was far enough in to it that I could help others but as you see, im starting from scratch myself. LOL

After all that work, I want my stitches to show! Whether it is discreet (thread blends in with the quilt) or not so discreet (thread contrasts with the quilt) is simply a design decision. Your quilt, your choice.

Sounds like this will be really pretty! Be sure to show us a picture when it's completed. I've been quilting for less than 2 yrs now and I learn at least one new thing everyday from this board, quilt sites, quilt magazines or quilting friends.
