I wanter a summer looking quilt and found this pattern for hot air balloons.

Now I would love some suggestions on how to proceed from here. Have to say this was the fastest quilt I ever made - only took about 3 days. It was Fun to do.

Just have to decide how to embellish it now:

Not happy with baskets on smaller balloons so will have to experiment with scraps on how to blend the colors or make more lines so they appear smaller ????

Make a strand of beads or ??? to run down where each color strip ends on large balloon

Make a tassel of some sort (from embroidery floss ?) from balloon to basket on large balloon and let hang from bottom of basket or ???

Put hot fix crystals on the smaller balloons

OR ???????????

Thanks for any suggestions.
