One last post about the Matilda, Mary and Me art quilt, and
that is outlining. When I have a color in my subject that is too close in value
to my background area, I always like to outline it to add contrast and make it
stand out more. I did that on this piece around the skin tone areas because they
did not contrast enough with the yellow background.
You can do outlining with several straight lines of
stitching, a satin stitch, or a small, thin piece of fabric. Here I used the
later.
Thanks for visiting my blog!
