    I have laid them on white batting. The piecing shows up to the eye, but didn't show up well to the camera lens.

    As others have said, that is very interesting. I've never seen blocks done with white on white and look forward to seeing your finished quilt. I think it could be quite dramatic depending on how well the piecing shows over batting and backing. What do you plan to use for sashing, batting, batting and quilting thread?

    Keep up the good work.

    At this point I plan on this being a total white quilt. We will see what happens when all the blocks are complete.

    Interesting concept. I look forward to seeing the completed quilt. It is going to be beautiful. I imagine it would be a lovely shower gift for a bride to be.

    I have back problems too. I hope yours gets better quickly.

    The quilting will help show up the piecing too. A contrasting thread will further do the trick and make it an awesome quilt, I'm sure!
