Getting Up Close with My Quilting - Thread Painting




I started with 3 thread colors and ending up using about 6.  I selected to use more colors on the fish scales and more greens on the seaweeds.  I added more greys to the rocks too.  




Up close to the fish and the scales and the bubbles.

And up close to the backside of the quilt.













I really enjoy Thread Painting on the raw edge applique'.


The Quilt Pattern is Swim Team by McKenna Ryan.



Enjoy!
