I am going to start a new quilt. I've attached a photo of what I want to accomplish.

Currently I have the black portion and the grey portion drawn out and partially cut out. I planned to iron it onto a white background. My idea was to use one or two layers of tulle for some of the sections where I wanted shadow. In my head, I would like to use grey and black thread to quilt in the different sections.

As I get closer to actual assembly of the applique onto fabric, I am second guessing myself.

I know there are many art quilters who subscribe to this thread, and I wondered if anyone had any suggestions on how I should proceed. This is actually only my second attempt at art quilts, so any and all suggestions are more than welcome.
