Any constructive critics would be welcome!!

Gorgeous!!!! This has been something that I have been wanting to try for years; always gets pushed to the back of the mind. Then I see one and move it forward again. After seeing yours, and went to a local quilt show yesterday, thread painting is moving up again. They had one that was a japanese floral panel and thread painted over the flowers with various threads. Hmmmmm!!!!!
