I have just put together the Stephen Lyman Last Light wallhanging and now I am stumped on how to quilt it! I did think initially of doing some 'thread paining' but I am very new on my long arm and think that this may not be a good idea.
If anyone has any ideas or any photos of one that they have quilted (tried an internet search and did not come up with anything) to show me I would be very grateful as I have no idea how to start!

Thank you! that gives me a good idea of how to go about this one. I am thinking of using some different threads and maybe a very pretty delicate white shimmery thread on the snow? what do you think?

use a batting that allows up to 10" between stitching lines (like warm & natural)
then you can do minimal quilting- maybe highlighting wildlife, some water- some clouds... vines/leaves in the borders...
just enough to highlight-without distracting..
and if you are (new) to thread painting, you should practice on something before trying it on a (real) quilt
