Okay, so I was messing around with some grey scale fat quarters and made a table runner.... I already quilted around each 'cube' section, to draw out the illusion.
My question is, should I add some quilting on the face of each block? I would use matching thread for each color. I was thinking echo quilting, or perhaps even some pebbles or squiggles to give it texture... BUT, I don't know if that would take away from the pretty marble effect that the fabric already has!!
Opinions are welcome - I'm done sewing for today, so no rush
Thanks for taking the time to look.

) Remember the triangle swirl (frenzy??) table toppers and runners? Same idea, with just two strips in the triangles. (I used 2 1/2" strips, but any size would work) You just take your colors (Light, Medium, Dark) and pair them in sets of two strips: M/D, M/L, D/L, then cut your 60 degree triangles out of those! No Y seams. If you look at the close up shot, you can see the triangles that make up each block, but when assembling it, you do it in diagonal rows, so everything is straight (I used labels to keep track!!).
