Hand or machine?

Try cream on the cream, either plain or variegated. If you don't want to keep stopping and changing colours a medium grey will blend remarkably well on the pink and black, otherwise match the thread (plain or variegated) to the colours. Can't see the pic and write this so no immediate thoughts on how to quilt it; just try not to let the quilting fight with the piecing, ie don't plonk a scribbly all over pattern on it just to get it finished, tempting though it might be... ;)

Definitely a very pale pink ...



The Whale (B&W Jobby) was quilted with a very pale pink and it worked perfectly.

Thank you all for your comments on both quilts.

I think at the moment they will go back in their boxes as I have other (garment) projects that really should come first.
Still it was good to see them again and remind myself what I have achieved in the past.
