I straight stitched around everything black will add picture of background quilting. The blue one I used a silver metallic and the creme background I believe was a varigated thread.Just did a back and forth allover stitch. I mainly wanted to knock the background down abit and bring the designs more puffy or 3D-ish and stand them out.

Stitched around all black and back and forth in Metallic for background
