That is a very striking quilt but I totally understand why you flipped it and quilted it from the back! Up close, watching stitches, you would quickly go cross-eyed with that fabric. It is a lovely gift - I am sure the recipients will love it!

very pretty, love the colors

Very pretty,

Very very nice! I have the same problem sewing black and trying to match up the pieces, especially at night.

Nice work. Very striking.
