After reading the two comments, I went back and added a lot more thread work to my little quilt. Thanks for the comments---this IS much better.

Hi Sally, You really nailed the lines...picking up all the irregularities of the wood. Excellent job on that! The color part - there is alot of pure hue in it, so it overwhelms the more subtle colored stitching a bit. But that stitching....WOW!

I think you choice of fabric was a good start for the sunset colors, and I love the way you were able to replicate the wood grain with your stitching. Like Cynthia said the color does still overwhelm a little. What if you added more gray and black thread painting like the clouds and land mass in the photo? I think with just a little more balance it would be a very nice piece.
Sally, I like what you did with the additional thread work...it softened/toned down the pure hues in some the areas plus the thread work stands out more. Great job!
Cynthia
Your choice of color is striking to say the least! I love the vibrancy of this piece created through the quilting lines and color scheme. The touches of blue allow my eyes a place to rest and the black lines guide me through. Very nicely done.

The comment about the blue thread is interesting! The thread sitting by my machine is a medium gray. Good lesson on the way colors react with each other.
