Bilbo covered it with her suggestion of a trial block or two. That could save you a lot of heartache and handache from gripping the stitch ripper.QuiltSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18121195815836334067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-718656223712727253.post-25510215952248494222011-11-19T00:52:21.982+00:002011-11-19T00:52:21.982+00:00Goodness me, Hobbit - that was a most timely inter...Goodness me, Hobbit - that was a <b>most</b> timely intervention!!<br /><br />Yes, you are quite right that the ol' pea brain had forgotton the <b>pain</b> of unpicking the overly dark quilting on Sure Steps!<br /><br />And I was entirely poised with my unpicker for the FMQ stars - BUT instead, I will trial a couple of blocks with dark-grey-top, dark-grey-bottom and dark-grey-top, light-grey-bottom and then we can see what's to be done!<br /><br />Thank you, m'dear - and *do* keep <i>on</i> the hot toddies/oodles of fresh air, and keep <i>off</i> the disproportionately hard labour for the time being?Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18191107549698019812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-718656223712727253.post-52916074076125240582011-11-18T20:50:35.171+00:002011-11-18T20:50:35.171+00:00Careful, careful, I think we've been here befo...Careful, careful, I think we've been here before and the end result was an awful lot of unpicking ...<br /><br />Recovering from a cold (= brain fog all week) but I have a sneaky feeling that early on in your quilting career we all had a discussion about the effect of a quilting thread which contrasts hugely with the quilt top. If you have any of the quilt top fabrics left, can I suggest you make up a sample block and do some experiments before you make a commitment to the actual quilt?<br /><br />Shuffling back to the corner now ...BilboWagginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913801147278606148noreply@blogger.com
