I've not seen this method anywhere else so I've dubbed it 'Sketch Quilting'. I take a panel with something already on it, a sketch is one I start with, and do a ton of shallow and medium depth hand stitching thread layers, following up with machine stitching for deeper stitches and to stabilize the quilt. I also use different shades of thread to make it lighter or darker where I want it to be that way.
If anyone has seen this technique before please let me know.
