Bling

I'm slowly adding the sparkle to this quilt:


All that dense stitching takes a while, as you need to go slowly with the holgraphic/metallic thread. I'm using a Sewline air-erasable marker to freehand mark the outline to the shape, and it's all filled freehand; so each one is slightly different. It's supposed to look a bit like a cut diamond, but the main aim was sparkle, and even in the photo you can see that, so I'm satisfied.

This is going to be (already is) beautiful! Loving the sparkly thread, and looking forward to seeing the completed quilt.
