These two pictures are of two of the blocks from the front. I am pleased with how the quilting turned out on the front but not so pleased with how it turned out on the back!
I am so out of practice that it is embarrassing. But I went ahead and finished it because I figured that the only way to get back into it is to PRACTICE. SO here is a picture of the whole back and one close up.
The quilted top has a nice solid feel to to it. 
I am going to take some of my new thermo fax screens I had made and paint the back. I'll put some texture by color on the yellow backing to hide some of the stitching. Then I will do the embellishment on the front with the yellow silk ribbon.
Next post will be the revised back and then onto the embellishment.
One thing i am tempted to do is cross cut the whole quilt top as it is right now. Basically there would be lots of minis crosses all through out the surface and then a big cross almost super imposed over the whole thing. I may try appliquing a green cross just to see what the effect is. I have never done that major of a change to a piece before and I wonder if it would be more effective if the shape of the piece as a whole was circular. Just thinking if the message would be louder as a piece if I did that.
Any thoughts?
