Now What?

I really don't know what to do next.  I am nervous about the next step in this wildflower quilt.  I blogged previously about this being the first time I have tried this technique.  Since then, I quilted around the edges of the wildflowers with smoky monofilament thread to secure the pieces.

The next step is to "paint" the details of the quilt with thread.  This is what has me nervous.  I am afraid to mess up.  I'm not that confident in doing anything other than a straight stitch.  That is why I LOVE piecing way more than quilting.

So I spent quite some time with all the thread laid out on the top hoping for an epiphany.  None was forthcoming.  So......

I poured some crystal seed beads on the center hoping for inspiration.  Again, nothing.  I think I just need to start the process.  It is the fear of the unknown that is scaring me.  What I really need to do is what Belinda did here - practice on a test piece until I get the hang of it.  Maybe tomorrow.
