"Imagine Monet" Is Finally Finished

I thought it was finished ... and most of you considered it done, too. But then I began to wonder if I could soften the transition between the dark binding and the body. I tried a variety of yarns and this gray-green chenille is perfect.
It not only is a value transition, but a the fuzzy texture serves to soften the hard line.

Here's a peek at the back side. As you may recall the center panel and the four border pieces are constructed and quilted separately. They are connected with a wide zig-zag stitched seam. To cover up the stitching and to strengthen that join, I place a tube of fabric over it and hand-stitch it in place on both edges.
