You are doing some amazing embellishing work!! How do you like working with varigated threads? I have alot of them, but havent' used many. I have an Autumn theme quilt I am hoping to layer soon and start machine quilting, and I was thinkingof using those threads in it. I have 26 different fabrics in it, so I think it might work okay.
You are doing an incredible job for your first quilt! You have certainly inspired me with your embellishing ideas!! you got me doing some thinking now :)
