I didn&#8217;t do much in general &#8211; no sewing, no EPP, no quilt shop visits, but I worked on Under the Sea a little on the way home in the car.<\/p>\n<p>I bought some 12wt Aurifil and have used a little of it along with the Perl Cotton that I have had laying around. It is fun to add layers of texture to this piece. The stitches are adding interest.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_33702\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-33702\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/DSCN1345sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-33702\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/DSCN1345sm-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Under the Sea (detail) - Late August 2016\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/DSCN1345sm-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/DSCN1345sm-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/DSCN1345sm.jpg 956w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 85vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-33702\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Under the Sea (detail) &#8211; Late August 2016<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I am not sure about the green circles.
