I agree completely , pebbling would be a great touch !

do a lot of thread painting in the grey to brighten it back up, using dark purple or white thread, the rest of the quilt is bright and happy, the gray looks sad.

These are fabrics picked out for my teenage sister. She's graduating this year, so I wanted to make something smaller (for dorm rooms) and she really likes dark and light grays and purple. The other quilt that these scraps came from did not have the dark gray in it (since I'm not a huge fan of it, either, lol) But when I made this from the scraps, I needed to add in her other favorite color. It's actually not as dark as it looks...and not really gray, lol. It's a gray/purple speckled fabric. I just couldn't get it to look speckled on the camera or like it's true color. Even the purple looks a little darker than it is. I'm trying to quilt it in a way that makes it stay where it is, instead of pop out. I want the spiderwebs and mini stars to pop out to the forefront.

I agree - the effect would mimic the spider web "pie pieces" nicely!

I liked this idea, too, so I did this in the purple border and loved how it came out. I ended up stippling in the dark grey with a purple thread to match the borders. It doesn't make it fade to the background, but I feel it gives it a dimension of it's own.

Pebbles would be cute!!!
