Finished!

I started working on this yesterday morning.  I LIKE it!
 This is a close up of the tulips to show some of the shadowing I did.  First I tried it by stitching a blue line on the right side of every leaf and flower; I did that because when I used a blue Frixion pen to outline similar colors so that I'd know where to put the stitching, I noticed that it gave some depth to the quilt.  After stitching a few lines, I realized that it wasn't working as well as the Frixion pen, but since I didn't want to un-stitch, I kept going.  Once complete, I decided I'd try shading with a blue colored pencil - I think that worked better.  It won't stay there if the quilt is washed, but it's a wall hanging so there's not much chance of that.  I also used a white pencil to do a little bit of highlighting.
Now, I need to do something other than quilting - like maybe clean the kitchen ( after I have some breakfast).

What to work on next

 I finished the two gift quilts - and both have been delivered to a parent of the little girl recipient. I have the requested photo from one...
