Very pretty! Try a cross hatch if the thread color bothers you.

This is what I usually do on my quilts. except I make my swirls larger and it is always beautiful on anything I quilt!
I think the varigated grey thread will make you happy too! I really love KT Superior thread

I love the fabrics and the pattern. It certainly doesn't look like a quickie pattern. Great job!

I think the quilt is very, very pretty! And I think the grey variegated thread would be gorgeous . Just stand there staring at it and a design will pop out that just screams to be [IT!] This is a good one for trying your hand at free-motion, just take one area at a time and play, play ,play. Then post it when you are finished cause I want to see it.

I don't think that you are giving yourself nearly enough credit! This is wonderful! And around my area (near Pittsburgh, PA) Steeler Fans would think that it is amazing!!
