After my disappointment with my quilting not showing up like I'd like on my whole-cloth quilt, I have decided to quilt this next quilt with a variegated thread. :)
I loaded the quilt top last Thursday. Since the quilting is not as dense on this quilt, I've already turned the rollers twice and I LOVE the way quilt is moving right along! :)
I also LOVE the look of the variegated thread! It adds just a "hint" of color to the stitches so they don't get lost in the fabric. I hope the recipients of this quilt love it, too! LOL (This quilt is for my nephew and his wife....but it's a surprise!) :)

Wow, it's beautiful.
I can't tell the thread is variegated - what colors does it vary around? But the hand quilting stitches are so pretty and delicate!
Between the dark and light colors there looks to be maybe a tiny cross-hatch? I can't tell from the photo. Would you tell me what it is? It gives a teeny bit of texture to the stark color-change area.
Lovely lovely work - lucky recipients!

I'm not sure what part you are referring to about the "cross-hatch", though. There are two borders...the inner rust-colored border where I used a type of "braid" stencil for the quilting, and an outer blue border.
Hope this answers your questions! :)
