I bought this fabric and plan to make a similar quilt, could you tell me what color thread you quilted with, this has me stumped.

I used a lot of different colors of Superior King Tut verigated thread. For example: green verigated on green areas, verigated blue on Blue areas, etc.... Hope that helps.

Pattern is by Julee Coffman. I don't remember the name of the pattern and can't find it in my sewing room. I bought at Santa Fe Quilting. I'm sure they can help you, if you describe it.

This is unbelievable!! Not being a quilter myself I am wondering if that entire picture is all pieced fabric or painted, or a print already on the fabric? I just love this.
