Once I gave up the idea of adding lilly pads I moved cruised along with new ways of adding texture....
These multi-color matte beads blended in nicely....
........... Hand-dyed scrim was inserted into the holes.
.....French knots provided more interest, as did additional stitching with silk, rayon, and other hand-dyed embroidery floss.
Weston's Marsh 9" x 7"
Presented in a 8" x 10" frame
As I mentioned previously, my inspiration came from a marsh adjoining a friend's home on the outer banks in S.C. So....I've named the quilt in honor of them. This photo is clickable to view a larger image.

This is a fantastic piece!!!!!
This came out great! Are you going to mount it to anything?
I had my doubts about this when you first posted your "ingredients" but my, this has turned out so interesting and well. Kudos for these romps into unfamiliar territory.
I too had my doubts about this piece! It's always good to travel new paths......
...and yes, Patsy....the piece will be mounted on off white rice paper, secured to a matt and displayed in a narrow black frame.
Thanks for your comments!!
