Walk on the Beach Mystery Quilt

I don't know how long ago I made this top.  If I'm remember correctly I bought it at the Huston Show.  It was a mystery quilt and I purchased it because I like the fabrics.  I quilted the center with zipple (Leah Day) in the tan fabric only.  I started with a variegated thread that matched the fabric.  However at many of the angle inflection points the bobbin thread color came through.  I spent a couple of hours trying to get that to stop.  Finally I pulled out the quilting and went to a variegated color thread that matched the bobbin.  I actually liked the how the quilting stood out, and when the bobbin thread pop through it was not noticeable.  I quilted the border with Sally Terry hooked on feathers.  I quilted this entire quilt on Easter Sunday. 

Size: 60 x 88
