As I like to see the texture the quilting makes instead of the thread on the surface, I changed thread color to match the fabrics on the top. But that does allow the quilting threads to show on the backside depending on the backing fabrics. I can't say enough nice things about this customer's piecing. None of the pictures ever do justice to her work. I have quilted several of her tops and everyone of them have been perfectly pieced.

Sorry, but I had to leave the house before I finished telling about this quilt. So, for the rest of the story: this quilt was pieced using the directions from "The Quilter" magazine, March 2008 and May 2008. The quilt in the magazine I believe was designed by Pam Bono and quilted by Mary Nordeng. I do not have the talent of Mary Nordeng so I had to change the quilting designs somewhat to fit what I was capable of stitching. But the inspiration given by Pam Bono and Mary Nordeng certainly made this quilt.
