As soon as I saw it I agreed. So maybe you need a color you wouldn't suspect to be "rocky". Even looking at the hole in the tree...using some pink thread would give you bright spots instead of using a brown-family color.<br /><br />I am looking forward to seeing the texture the batt gives you!Vicky aka Stichrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02398784887410187456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-639265697684362917.post-80310052787904759192016-12-04T10:32:23.371-04:002016-12-04T10:32:23.371-04:00Thank you for showing your process and letting us ...Thank you for showing your process and letting us understand the false starts that are so important to a creative process - especially the slow process of hand stitching marks. As for quilt batting, I think in this rock piece, it will add the 'weight' and substance that you seek.<br />Thanks again. xoJudy Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00619951031502775381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-639265697684362917.post-6377105755066705482016-12-04T10:10:27.256-04:002016-12-04T10:10:27.256-04:00This is really exciting.

The little bit of hand quilting I've done was not as pleasing to me as just stitching on flat fabric with perhaps a bit of light backing. I end up thinking my stitches don't look as good with the 'padding'. On the other hand it gives texture to the piece and that's always a good thing.Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999711983585051357noreply@blogger.com
