Hi Sara,
I am not ignoring you! I thought it looked a lot like the Fly Stitch, but needed to confirm. Sometimes being a 'perfectionist' is a burden...
I, too, am looking forward to trying this. What type thread do you use? I could see this in a lightweight perle cotton, or is that what knit/crosheen is? I would almost prefer the stitches to be seen!
That is part of the reason I tie... I tie on the back so the tufts are there. Nothing on the front to mar the beauty of the quilt. I also bartack using clear thread-that way there is nothing showing anywhere!
