My only suggestion for getting the back to look even better is to make sure your needle is going in perpendicular to the fabric every time :-)DeborahGunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14415220048612276494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5326119276545251831.post-3345306284945689782014-08-24T17:06:31.515+12:002014-08-24T17:06:31.515+12:00Loving your star blocks - what is the fabric top l...Loving your star blocks - what is the fabric top left in the first photo?

People who do really fine quilting only just catch the fabric on the back, so yours are fine.<br />I love the strong colours in those star blocks against the neutral backgrounds.
