However, reading your post I realized that a stash I was recently looking at and had purchased years ago that is built around using a black TOT print for a background might just have to be made up in this FQS pattern! Christa Watson says she likes Aurifil #4241 (a very dark grey) for sewing on solid black fabric as well. I've used it for that and it works too!

Congrats on a wonderful finish for your IB and GO! challenge :)<br /><br />BTW, I have also been using dark, dark navy thread instead of black. Every once in a while, I get a spool of Aurifil that seems defective. The bad thread breaks and shreds. It's usually a dark color and my last spool of black was one of them. So I switched to navy out of desperation and it works just fine. The Quilt Police would have to have very good eyes to tell the difference!Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306854459459257368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-841503584332048056.post-77306440411667204462019-04-28T18:59:56.715-04:002019-04-28T18:59:56.715-04:00What a pretty quilt!
