Thank you for your comments... I have told her all of this, she still insists on black, but, we are going with the gray. I have panto's, but I have never used them on this machine, so it will all be fmq...
Lisa is piecing a quilt top and i am going to have her do a panto on it so she can get the movement down.. and then go into fmq. So far she is going to be good as long as we all can get her to read a quilt.. ha !!! That is why we decided to do this...
So everyone's input has really helped...
Thank you so much :)

The gray with gray thread will show the quilting. Perhaps you can find a pantograph using the more open designs with flowers and leaves, for a co promise. I love your quilt, and think it's more attention grabbing in your colors, than busy.

You are too funny !!!! :) You made me laugh... Ok, most of the fabric's are from Joann's. Two of them are from a lqs, two of them are from Walmart, and one is a 1930's real feed sack. Joann's has the new section with the little blocks , charms , triangles all cut out, and jelly rolls. Plus they have fat quarters also. That is where I got most of the fabric's, and they have some on the bolt so I was able to get the border fabric as well. A few of them I picked up a few yrs back.. and I used it all in the quilt and do not have any idea who made them.Sorry about that....
Thanks for asking and for your compliments :)

definitely a gray back with the simpliest of quilting. If you had some of the gray with what looked liked little yellow butterflies on it it would look good - I would say this would be good for a dorm room - it would keep the student warms and also keep them awake to study lol The colors are great but a little busy for me. lol
