I started with the six strips in different colours and textures. I didn't realize that there wouldn't be enough contrast with the embellishing/wording. I made several failed attempts to rectify the situation and finally decided yesterday that the only solution would be to replace the light strips with darker ones. So after removing the embroidery stitches and beading, I also removed the strips which were fused. So much for a) my fusing skills and/or b) faulty fusible and/or c) improper storage of fusible.
This morning, I redid two strips in darker hues and fused on the organza letters. The letters still seem a bit pale but since the idea is that beauty fades, I'm going to call it a desing element.

the quilt is nice, very elegant.
About the blurred pictures, if it's not a desired effect, try to check your camera lenses. May be there is skin oil, or some sort of dirty on them :)
