You have a nice little project, as well as the lessons you learned.

I like your block. It looks like thread art to me. Good job!

I saw a quilt in a shop in Colorado Springs that featured using the decorative stitches. They offered a class. I like what your did. My question is about the thread. Did you use a single type of thread in different colors or did you use a variety of thread fibers, weights as well as colors? This technique would seem to have endless applications.

You are right - endless applications!
