There are lots of things going on in the background of this lion so I clearly need something that keeps the mystical qualities of the dark night sky while at the same time providing a foundation pattern that somewhat stabilizes. I chose to quilt a a wavy horizontal pattern allowing one to see through the pattern to symbols behind quilting.
I will later be covering the turnaround spots with very pale yellow stitching.
I did choose to 'protect' a few seemingly floating foreground elements placing them 'in front' of the wavy pattern.
This is quite an quilting experience unlike any previous.

I know the work involved in stop & start around the foreground elements, but I think it was well worth it! This is going to be an amazing art work when it is done!
