Sewing at the weekend

Having noticed that the sellotape used on gold wrapping paper picked up the gold colour, I decided to use this in a plastic quiltlet. The bits of gold tape are covered with a sheer layer of fabric, and the wadding is bubble wrap. The back is plastic, and it machined just fine. The stars are added by hand. Whoever wins this "little gem" is in for a surprise!Because the back is plastic, I added the label into the binding - and will be using this method in future!
The BQL challenge this month is trapunto - I was aiming for feathers but got these strange leaves instead -And the spirals, though nice and puffy, are a teeny bit boring ... and odd ...
Some hand embroidery might improve this one?

Love the plastic one!
The spirals look a little like shells. Maybe you could add some more seashore type items??
