Ok, I finally got my head together and decided what to make for a quilt challenge in my guild.
This is what I have done so far, it is a printed panel and I am appliqueing her dress and stuff. I will be adding cherry blossoms too.
Now, what I need help with is what color do you think would look best to do the detail stitching (folds in the fabric) in black or gold?
Thanks!

Wow
That is beautiful - a lady at one of the workshops I attended brought something similar to the show & tell, it was amazing.
Now I think the fabrics she used if I remember correctly were heathers & purples she did as Klue suggested & quilted in gold metallic. It made everything really stand out.
Good Luck - can't wait to see it finished. Is there a prize involved or is it to raise funds for a charity?

This is going to be a beautiful quilt/hanging. Wow! I would use gold on the Obi and black and gold depending on whether you want to show shadow or detail on the Kimono. I agree with outlining the whole in black. Can't wait to see it finished.

I'm trying to find an embroidery design of a cherry blossom so I can make the flowers individually and tack them on, like a cascading tree. I want to make them on gorgete.
