This is amazing. You have perfectly captured the personality of the dog. I have no suggestions of how to quilt it. I can never decide how to quilt my quilts. I can't wait to see what you come up with. I wouldn't add the tulle, I like how it looks without it.

I would simply outline. Depending on the size of the head, you could outline the outer edge and echo stitch a bit inside the edge and then outline the nose, mouth and eyes. That should be more than adequate quilting and accentuate the head. As far as the 'wood', I would follow the grain lines on the wood and leave it at that.

It is a wonderful piece and I sure can identify with your quilting decisions. I would trace this and draw in thread painting lines to have a really clear idea of direction for all parts. Once you begin thread painting it is so easy to become confused as to "where next?" I would use several different black/ grey tones to paint with. The background... I agree with others that a vertical elongated stipple that isn't as dense to follow the grain. Good luck. I can't wait to see the finish. Your work is always great.
