It may be wishful thinking but the annoying distortion issues I've had with this Liberty of London "Lawn" fabric are slowly being tamed as stitching continues. It's not gone, but it is better. So, I'll proceed....
Some of the dye painting in the lower level didn't totally cover the pale blue fabric that I started with....spots of the light color were apparent after sewing with a solid green rayon thread. So I went back and did more spot sewing over some of those areas with a lighter green which turned out too light on the piece....big sigh...
Never fear, pastel oil sticks are becoming my new best friend.....and while I was altering the lighter green stitching, I smeared some lines here and there to provide more interest and depth to this section.
This photo is a bit shadowy but you'll get the idea.....the stitching has now moved up the quilt introducing some blue/yellow/orange to the sky as it works its way up into the more solid blue section.
Various obligations will probably keep me from adding too much for the next two weeks.....but I'll post results as they happen. Thanks for hanging out with me.

Wow, that looks labor intensive! I'll wager that it will be stunning when you are done.
This is such a soothing piece- not necessarily to you as you overcome the various challenges in making it- but to the viewer it's so inviting. And you have employed some creative solutions as you go. Thanks for your comment on my blog- the necklaces are indeed fun to wear and surprisingly lighter than they might look. Happy 4th!
