Your quilt is truly breathtaking! My son would love a Harley quilt. Guess I better start looking for those Harley sheets that someone mentioned in an earlier reply. Best of luck to you at the quilt show. Keep us posted!

When I used black batting I noticed the backing fabric didn't look as crisp white so I lined the backing with white fabric. It worked. There were so many layers of fabrics and batting I used 90/14 topstitch needle and 40 weight thread. It worked well. I was concerned about too large of a needle which would have shown light through the larger needle holes. (I've seen it happen.) Maybe only a few needle holes would show light through if held up to a window. I was pleased.
I'll try again to add close up photos of the quilting to this current topic thread.. If I don't have luck, then I'll start another thread to show photos.
