I colored my “quilt” in shades of blue, green, and red - okay so far. Then I decided I would add the spool and tape with the pincushion on top – and the sentiment. Hmmm, what to do with the background. Took a big step and embossed and sponged it to make it look like fabric. Well, in the end, I think it was too much blue, but it’s done. Ha! I added the red bitty buttons to balance out the red in the pincushion, which is popped and shaped for dimension. Thanks for taking a closer look.
