I need some ideas on finishing this panel?????
 

I found this stashed away from many years ago & would like to finish it. I was thinking of outline quilting this. What do you think & to what detail, and what about thread color or colors?? Thanks, as I know you guys are great quilters & have some great ideas.

Do you have the skill level to do some thread painting type work in the wings and some leaves? I don't, but I think it would be beautiful if you could do it.

Yes, I totally agree that some thread painting work on the wings and leaves would be stellar. If you do thread painting on the wings, I'd try to use a thread that is sparkly. Outline quilting for the rest, a small stipple in the white area and maybe a vine and leaf design in the border would be lovely. I'd outline the borders. It would be gorgeous done that way.

If you are comfortable using metallic thread I would use an opalescent one.

I think silver thread painting would be great for the wings

My first thought was thread painting. It will be beautiful.

I agree with DebbE. Sounds like it will be beautiful. And maybe add some crystals to the centers of the flowers.

Thread painting would be so pretty.

Yes, I agree with everyone! Outlining and thread painting would look lovely. Please post the finished piece.
