I changed up the quilting for both effect, and my arms and back. It was a lot of quilt to move around.
Here's a close up of the back.
I was able to get a binding to match the colors perfectly. I love the stripes.

ReplyDeleteHey Robin, visiting from the Grow Your Blog Challenge. Hope everything is going well for you and yours. I had never heard of using two colors of thread for a quilt before, but I'm not that creative when it comes to needlecrafts! Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteThis was the first time I used two different colored threads. I like the way it turned out. Thank your for stopping by!
