Uh oh! First wholecloth and used variegated thread...are the quilt police on the way??!!
#1
I am learning to hand quilt, so I purchased a pre-printed mini wholecloth to practice on. I was having fun when I realized that all of the wholecloths I see are made with the same color thread. I bought some variegated (Carribean Sea) and I've been using that on natural wholecloth. How big of an oops is that? Will the quilt police show up soon? :) Thanks for all of your help.

One more thing. Wool batting is very different than I thought it would be. I thought it would be dense and itchy for some reason, but I love it! It seems softer and easier to work with than cotton batting. Just FYI.

Wool batting doesn't make me itch, altho wool sweaters, etc certainly do! It's like quilting thro butter IMO. And re: variegated thread, if you like it, go for it. It IS your quilt after all. And if you run into a PMS-ing quilt police, not to worry. No jury of your peers would ever convict you!!
