I'm using Guterman cotton variegated thread on the top and gray on the back which is a pieced floral and navy blue. So far so good. I'll take it to show and tell tomorrow at our monthly guild sew-in.
When I look at the quilt at a distance, I see how apt the name is. I like those pops of light here and there.
Besides this work in progress to show, tomorrow I'll try to finish appliqueing the pink and blue melons onto the string-pieced neutral background. After I finish the applique, I will think about next steps - do I enlarge it with a string-pieced border or leave it as it is? I'll show a picture when I get to that stage.
The other thing I hope to take to work on at guild tomorrow is a tote bag full of selvages. I thought it would be smart of sort them by color, so I've also got a bag full of baggies to put them in. During 2023, I hope to work with them and my strings (which also need sorting by color).

your mention of strings makes me remember I have 2 shoe boxes full of them - I really need to do something with them - your quilt top is looking really good to me!
