I wouldn't worry about it. It looks fine just as it is. I think you are just too close to it at the moment. If you have already sandwiched it and have started quilting it, I would just let it be. That being said, I sew with white a lot, and if I use the Warm and Natural that comes in white, the seams don't show...in case that helps.

Beautiful quilt, by the way!!

I love black and white quilts and yours is beautiful. If it was mine, I would leave it as is but would quilt it using black thread . People will be drawn to the design of the quilting because it will stand out and they won't even see the seams . They really are straight and I kind of like seeing them, like a design. JMO

I agree that a white batting is necessary. I made an Ohio Star and had to get a bright white batting to keep seams from showing. The natural was just too dark for the white background.

Yours is a beautiful quilt. I'm sure your Nephew will love it!!

Actually, I think the white lines can be considered a design feature. They're very sharp and modern looking.

Beautiful quilt. Seams don't brother me either...I like the suggestion of lining blocks.

Looks gr8 to me. To me the seams are barely visible, your nephew will love it.

it's a lovely quilt. I would suggest going back and stitching 1/4 around the pieces. that way, it will help fool the eye so it doesn't see the shadow of seams through the white. good luck.

I kind of love how they look. I would leave them for sure.

I think you are being too critical - most won't look that closely - they will see the overall design and never notice the seam allowances. Nice job!

Hi,

Thank you all for your advice.
I showed the quilt to my nephew and his family and they did not even notice the seams!!!
So I guess I was indeed being too critical of my own work.

I did use bright white polyester batting (Hobbs 80/20 cotton batting made my white fabric look yellowish) so the problem was caused by the grey backing fabric.
But hopefully the seams will not be as prominent after it has been quilted.
After reading your comments I have decided to leave it as it is and finish it.

In this picture you can see the whole quilt with a part of the backing fabric showing.
Please don't look too close at all the wrinkles ...it is still a work in progress...

Thanks for your help.
