This is fun! I am quilting like a mad fiend and am fairly pleased do far. This is beginning to look nice and crusty. The little bits of metallic thread really sparkle it up too. I LOVE the crystalline look of iris petals. Other flowers have it too- Impatiens is one - spectacular in certain lights.

| The big red petals are getting the heaviest quilting- bordering on thread painting , but not exactly. |
 |
| Note the line of metallic along the orange-y edge of the petal. |
 |
| Having fun with shadows and veining. |
 |
| More fun with veining - reminds me of Fun With Dick and Jane! They never had THIS much fun!!! |

| There you are - I think the metallic shows better here. |
This is an exciting project. My greatest regret is my lack of different colour values. As soon as I am finished this, there will be a huge dyeing session! Remember, you heard it first here!
At the risk of boring people to death, I am going to post this at
