I like how you mimiced the fabric with your quilting, like the grass and a tighter meander in the leaves. I would definitely invest in more colors of thread though. You would be surprised how much a difference in thread color can make. Less contrast hides mistakes ALOT :wink: Also sometimes you just want the texture visible not the actual quilting stitches themselves.

Great job! Crosshatching isn't all that easy on a long arm...SO considering it is your first quilt with crosshatching...you did a wonderful job! People don't realize how hard it is!

Your Dh loves it.... :thumbup:
