| Only a few smaller areas left to satin stitch. |
When I made the first Peace quilt, I was concerned about my thread color showing too much. I wanted everything to sort of blend. This is my knee jerk reaction when picking thread color. But on this one, that tan in the border and bits of it on the cranes made me want to choose a color for the satin stitching that would play off that and stand out. I can't tell you how very pleased I am with the results. And the sheen of the twist thread is perfect against the sheen of the sateen crane fabric.
I discovered I still have some of the two green threads I used on the first quilt (can you believe they are still sitting by the side of my machine 2 years later?) and may use these for the quilting. We shall see.

The thread you're using in the satin stitching is exactly what you needed! And, yes, I believe the green threads are still by the side of your machine...that may or may not be something that happens here more often than not! Happy stitching! Jan in WY
