I like the green and then the off green, not so much the red

eye2quilt, I wonder how the gray thread is looking. Unfortunately, no cabin today! Someone else in the lease (older single guy) decided to mess up our plans for the weekend. :( BUT, I said I think we should just make a day trip tomorrow, so I'm packing the quilt and the steaks.

Just did a small test so far and looks great!! When I bought it, I knew I was going to quilt it in gray.

Well, I got to start to start the wholecloth last night, and started with the darker yellow-ish. It didn't really give me enough of a contrast, so I removed it and chose a moss green (a little lighter than the darker green I 'auditioned'). Here are a few pictures of the color, and I think I'll really like it once it's finished. You're able to see the stitches (much better after the lines are removed), and it compliments the yellow background.

Just wanted to share and say thank you for all the help!

Yes, I actually do use a frame. Got it from a member on this board, Harry Barnett (laptophoops.com), and it's a lap frame. LOVE the thing, and I even have two sizes.
