I did some more digging and found my notes (yay!) and have more of a plan. First up is working with the words that I've already written in pen. I found some colors of rayon thread that would work, zig-zagging some of them.
Turns out that this was the first thing that's been stitched down to the entire quilt sandwich. It was all holding together so well that I thought a lot of the stitching was all the way through. Whoops! A lot of the top is pieced together, or just top-stitched, but it wasn't anchored (except by straight pins) to the batting/backing. That meant I spent time pinning it down through all the layers with safety pins. Much better, I don't think it's going to fall apart all the time.
Some of the words are quite small, but I made my zig-zag teeny tiny and sewed very slowly.
There's a lot of layers and a lot of colors. I'm remembering why I really like this project.
