Fox Quilting Part III

Now we can quilt out from the central figure Fox beyond the initial darker background thread work. I changed to a rayon icy light blue to begin working toward the limbs of the snowbound tree.

I've decided "not" to do thread work on the limbs but instead quilt around them.

I like the ink painted limbs so see no reason to 'over quilt' this piece. Quilting the cool background though makes a big difference. The temperature gets colder !!

Lastly, I'll finish quilting around the slushy background snow.

In the next step, we'll move to the snow banks in the foreground and soon be done quilting.
