Teal Squares, basted!

October, 2013 (published later because the design is a surprise)

I had some time this morning, thanks to my mom taking my kids, and some space, thanks to my husband moving the furniture in our family room, to baste the Teal Squares. It's queen size, but with the backing and batting, I didn't have enough space in my basement to lay it out on a hard surface! 

Anyway, it's done now, and I'm going to get started on the quilting soon. I'm going to stipple in the black background, and I'm still trying to figure out what to do in the squares. I'm thinking I will leave the small squares unquilted, and do some sort of design in the big squares. What design and what thread color are still up in the air, though.
