I have found some blenders that I think will work good. And I have the gold embrodiery thread for the uniforms. the quilting will define the uniforms and the shaded areas. If I don't get the effects I want, I've got a seam ripper. So, I can just keep trying til I get it right. Yall have all had some great ideas and input. I like the idea of the doll store. I think I'll check that one out.
