I'm not entirely sure how big the stitch is going to be, I've got some of the background fabric sandwiched up and marked, I was going to play around this weekend with it to find out what looks better and go from there. My gut is thinking maybe a medium size stitch because of the curves involved, that's why I decided to hand quilt instead of machine quilt, I can't seem to get the curves right if I'm working on the machine. I'm still practicing my FMQ'ing, it's just taking a little longer than I hoped, mainly due to the migraine swarms I've been having. I haven't told my sister yet that I'm hand quilting it, I thought I would surprise her with it.
Thank you so much, ladies. Going to check with YLI, Coats & Clark and Gutermann's to see if I can match her colors now. You guys are the best.
