You're so "VEIN"

Okay I know the title makes little sense, but I keep hearing the 1970's song "You're so Vain" as I started to quilt the autumn leaves. My goal in 'veining' the leaves is to show off the bright yellows wherever possible. Saving the more simple yellow areas also offer a bit of an eye resting place.
I'll try to show what I mean. Here's a leaf part with some nice yellow areas. You can see I sketched in possible vein locations in ink.
I tried to quilt in a way that left the majority of the yellow area prominent.
