I had this top sewn since one of the Nancy Crow retreats years ago. It is a motif I was working with but looked so blank that I didn't finish it.
Hand stitching with Perle Cotton and Embroidery Floss seemed to be the answer. Most of the thread are ones I dyed or painted.
Here's another detail.
I'm much happier with it now and want to continue this idea once the puppy doesn't need so much attention.

I love this, love the broken circle thing. I've always admired it in others' work.
Smashing and the hand stitching just lifts the design beautifully!
The stitches add SO MUCH! Glad you figured this one out, Sandy - Excellent! -sus
I love this quilt! The stitching adds not only visual excitement but texture and dimension as well. Gorgeous!
Looks great - the stitching really makes it.
