but it lacks something - it just hangs there - quite colourful and balanced but lacking in oomph.
so, any ideas? i have thought of foiling, stamping with discharge paste or doing some meandering stiching in an abstract tree of life kind of way but my imagination is as slack-jawed as the quilt itself and i don't have enough clarity or purpose to actually do anything.
suggestions or encouragement most welcome

Hmmm. It would certainly make a nice background for foiling if you wanted to go down that route. Or perhaps applique of some description on top. My own direction would go along the heavy stitching and then painting over with paints or discharge paste before repainting, but that really is just me!! They're such nice fabrics it seems almost a shame to do anything with them, but it also says "background" for something else, to me.
How about surface manipulation? Pleats, gatherings, holes, twistings, then foiled? The colours are strong, go even more exotic.
foiled spirals would get my vote
