And that's what inspired this wall hanging! I still need to sandwich, quilt and bind. I'm thinking of a deep purple batik for the binding. What do you think?

Trying to decide how to quilt also. I was thinking of stitch in the ditch and some 1/4 inch from edges quilting. Thinking about stipling in the black areas (with black thread) but haven't made up my mind yet. Any suggestions?
