Another "sweet" Little Gem Quilt

This will be two Little Gems -- starting with a patchwork of sweet (candy) wrappers, under a sheer layer. It's tacked down with colourful threads, ready for machine quilting.

Some of the foil was torn and you could see the batting, so I added a few stitches to cover up the gaps -
And liked doing that kind of handstitching (the batting is a wool blanket, and wool is great for handstitch) - so now all the edges are getting that treatment -
It seems to cry out for beading, now, rather than machine stitching. Or, one with machining, one with beads. We'll see.
