While at MQX last weekend I got some supplies to add crystals to quilts. I decided to add some to my Moonlit Sky quilt. (Yes, that's the name I have decided on.)
Sure, my crystals aren't in a perfectly straight line, but I really like how this is coming together. Because there's just some straight line quilting on the stars, I feel like the lines of crystals really enhance the simple quilting and the stars themselves.
In this light green section I decided that less is more here. I want to showcase the amazing quilting first and foremost. The crystals are really here to enhance the quilt.
I still have a lot of crystals to add, and I have to order more since I completely underestimated the number of crystals I would need. You would think a package of 144 crystals would go a long way but it really doesn't.
I like that from far away you really can't tell that there are crystals. You can tell they're there from the sparkle and the faint appearance of a line. In this picture there are crystals in the purple, the blue stars and the green.
