That sounds interesting, too. If I use a good batting I won't need to do much quilting. Maybe I can meander [with purpose] and it will just look like part of the scene. I have little experience with wall hangings, but assume I will need something like Warm 'n Natural to give it heft to hang right. Is your 'very fine' thread larger number than 50w?
