Dear Princess your quilt is lovely! I would go with a deep cream thread top & bottom. Your piece work is amazing! Thanks for sharing.

That is gorgeous!

no green hon. unless that has green in it which i can't see.

I love the idea of the feathers, but I would only do cream on the cream areas and burgundy (I see it as burgundy, but don't know if it is only my computer. You may have a few more color changes, but very worth it. Also always use the same color thread on the top and bottom. This way if the machine sneezes and the tension changes on a stitch or two, the bottom thread will not show on the top.
What size is your quilt? I sell a lot of quilts. I find that if a quilt is a normal size for a bed it sells very quick regardless of the price. Also I have very good luck selling small wallhangings. What I find people have a hard time selecting is quilts that are too small for a bed or a lap or too big for a wall. Of course, it depends on the market around you. How big is it? |
Your quilt is so beautiful!! :thumbup:

Beautiful!
purchased this pattern last week and can't wait to start on it! I personally think that if you used green it would stand out to much and compete with the lovely design. But.. it is your quilt so do what will make you happy! |
This is such an elegant quilt :D:D:D
My suggestion is a cream a shade darker than the fabric and a burgundy on those areas and feathers :D:D:D |

The lighter color in the 'stars' looks pink in the picture.
If so, that would be a good for quilting thread in my eyes. If cream color fabric, I would use darker cream color. Very well done. |

What do you think about green on top and cream on the bottom? Any other ideas? Thanks everyone! :) I think, since the background fabric is cream, I would choose a darker shade (a couple of shades darker, perhaps an ecru) for the quilting and use the same thread top and bottom. This would make the quilting show, but wouldn't take away or overpower the beautiful star center. ;-) |
