Any suggestions to make this quilt top pop?

Hallelujah! It worked. See what I mean by Blah? I kinda like the idea of appliquéing a bear to the top. Woodsy It would have to be a very small bear though to keep it in proportion.

I agree with Dina. Maybe with some quilting will make is pop maybe using a green variegated thread. Are they Xmas trees??? Maybe add some miniature ornaments such as buttons?? See what you have in your household. Never hurts to try test things out.

I think some thread painting/quilting in the trees and pine cone quilting in the white areas might add some interest. I think it is a cute top and the quilting will make all the difference. If you do add bear silhouettes, I might put the mama bear in the center bottom triangle with a baby bear following in the left corner triangle. Cut out the silhouettes in black construction paper, pin them in place and see what you think.
