Pink / background

 I do enjoy free motion quilting. It took a couple of mornings to complete the stitching. Next - finish the edge and then begin stitching the next layer down.

 Half way! I decided to try using a color photo. Even with a coat of clear gesso, the texture was just weird to work on. Back to old black and white photos I go. They just work better.

 Light bulb moment! Paint the photo and scratch in while the paint is still wet. I don't have any open paint,  so the work has to be fast. Super fast...

 Where i am now:

It's time to get serious about placement and work on the background fabric to prepare for permanent stitching.  The background needs much stability to attach the shards.
