Thread, chosen

The cat approves.  

Sandwiched

Finally basted the layers together tonight.  I had hoped to get it done over the holiday weekend but my effort to patch a small piece of batting to make the perfect fit, I stupidly cut into a panel of my backing.  Luckily I had extra backing and I was able to cut out the bad part and fix it.  Pretty sure I'll be the only one that can tell where the mistake was after it's finished.

I need to check out a few colors of thread for the front but then I'm ready to quilt. I'm thinking blue or grey for the top and red for the back.  

And for reference, I'm going to use this idea for straight line quilting from Piece and Press.
