The backing is nautical because the our friend is retiring from the Navy and he is a chief so I wanted the anchors on there for him. My husband is going to make a wood wall hanging for it.

The label is the first kind I made this way. Does it look alright you? This is why I want an embroidery machine one day LOL

i think it's great and the stippling is perfect because it gives it the movement you talked about...wonderful quilt!
