Here is my quilt that I was having so much trouble working with the white fabric. I took it off the longarm yesterday and just need to do the binding. I sure learned a lot with this quilt: 1)Make sure I use better quality white fabric that isn't so see thru. 2)Do a practice block before starting the quilt. I took off sewing the trillion pieces together before I understood the dynamics of the block. 3)If using white on the front, be careful what I put on the backing! I had a dark polka dot and it showed through my batting. Well, the batting I started with was Quilters Dream Puff. I thought that would look really nice... Ha! The batting was puffy alright, but totally see thru! So I put that back on my shelf for some other project. I'd read where some people use two layers of cotton batting, so I used two layers of Bright and White. It worked! You can't see the dots from the back, it's puffy and the seems on the front almost disappeared! But.... it is heavy and doesn't drape very well.

So, that's my sob story! All in all, the quilt looks pretty good, will be very warm and heavy for someone! I think this will go on my self for a while before I decide what to do with it.

It's a beautiful quilt - bind it and wash it, the drape will soften.
