Anyway, it is a LOVELY quilt top, must have been a lot of painstaking work to piece all those small squares together so well, and it will be a gorgeous finished quilt.
Yes, the problem here, of course, is that it is a scrappy quilt meaning I have used at least three different "tan" fabrics and myriads of different white/creams. So, up close and personal, it is even harder to see, and at night, in the dark...forget it--I had to stop and take a picture.
I have to take it over to some bright light and try to see it. In the sunshine, it is easiest to see any mistakes, but while I was sewing, the differences were quite subtle, so seeing the differences was difficult.
