Regarding the light top/dark back: I'd just use white thread in the top and bobbin and say to heck with it. That probably makes me a rebel quilter, but I think life is too short to mess with tension! It never looks perfect which makes me crazy, so I just go with "oh the light thread on the backing? That's a design element."britthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05336503511284714109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786121707879366131.post-11400407368883139732012-01-16T19:36:32.972-08:002012-01-16T19:36:32.972-08:00I just found your blog this evening, and I am SMIT...I just found your blog this evening, and I am SMITTEN.

I was multiplying a recipe and switched tablespoons to cups. I don't think I can ever live that one down. <br />The quilt looks great. And I always love hand quilted quilts.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03955520636312279239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2786121707879366131.post-70175722975392105672012-01-12T00:47:30.730-08:002012-01-12T00:47:30.730-08:00Can't wait to see this in all it's glory! ...Can't wait to see this in all it's glory!
