Hello Kitty!

The eyes were merely secured with black outline  ( not shown) and a bit more thread work (albeit minimal) surrounds his nose. I like some unquilted areas...   the eyes and ash rose colored nose seemed perfect candidates to 'leave' alone.

Using a Madiera thread that includes an occasional '1/8 inch flick of alternate colors ( mostly red, black)  I'm adding some simple fur-like quilting motifs generally surrounding his spots. That thread is interesting. .. and this was a chance to use it!  WHY NOT?!

This will take some time....   but looks okay!
