I honestly do not have an opinion to give. I just wanted to tell you that you are making an absolute masterpiece!! I am amazed! After all is said and done, this is your work and you can complete it in any way you want. Oh I can hardly wait to see the finished product!

I've never liked the satin stitch--just me--seems to make it more stiff and harsher--so my vote is no--did you look at those Danny Amazonas pins on Pinterest? Amazing work.

I did look at his work and it's gorgeous, but I can't find any info on HOW he quilts it, except that he uses invisible thread.

I'd bet that someone told Picasso he was doing it wrong.

I just went and looked at your pics. I took a class from June Colburn many years ago that used a fabric collage technique. The way she did it was to take the pieces and fuse them down along the edges with steam a seam and then use invisible thread in a small zig zag to secure it. Its much more *blendy* than satin stitch but won't give a stained glass effect if that is what you are looking for.

Edit: If you google Danny Amazonas, there is a youtube interview with him. I didn't listen to it but it might give some insight into how he quilts his work.

Do what you intended. Don't let anyone influence you.

Watson

The problem is, I don't think I like what I intended, so now I don't know what to do.

Thanks, Cashs Mom, I'll try to find that interview.

I also have no advice, but your work is beautiful! How wise you are to have tried the sample before you started the satin stitch. At least you know what you don't want. It is going to be beautiful, no matter what you do.

I love the look of your quilt so far! I also like the softer look w/out the satin stitching. I would love to understand how you select the different fabrics for the different sections. It's amazing!

The satin stitch is too harsh for my taste. Absolutely ***LOVE*** your project!!! Honestly, I think you are way better off going with tulle or organza overlays.
