    That is fantastic and any colour you choose will be fantastic. Please remember to show again when you have quilted.

    Hugs

    Sure is a beauty. No green. You don't want to take away from the main design. Keep it soft and simple.

    Your quilt is stunning. If I saw this quilt for sale the pattern would draw me to it for purchase. You do great work.

    no green please. any dark thread would take from the beautiful piecing. It would be very hard to put burgandy on
    the bobbin. just when you least expect it, the dark color would show on the top and could ruin the whole thing. tension
    is tricky with FM. a light cream with darker cream on the back would work. Stunning quilt !

    Definitely like your decision to use cream to quilt your quilt. I always use the same in the top and bobbin, if your tension gets off just a bit that's one less worry. Your quilt if beautiful.
