Not bad, really. I used a large needle and tried not to go too fast, to avoid getting the thread too hot from friction.

You should show this special quilt to inspire others. Thank you for inspiring me to consider metallic thread.

Your beautiful quilting elevated a pretty panel print to spectacular. Your thread choices are just perfect and add a very elegant finish. I know metallic thread can be difficult to use without breaking but you seem to have found the right combination of settings. You inspire me to try it-on my DSM.

A marvelous quilt. These panels are fabulous. I was luck to purchase one of the series at a show. What you did is with this one is fabulous and I am inspired to work on mine.

It came out really nice! I like the idea of starting with a panel to practice other techniques (like thread work). Then you aren't as inhibited...like thinking you might mess up a quilt that in itself took a lot of time to put together.
