As expected, the remainder of the quilting for Ocean Effect has veered off from horizontal or vertical or the established 45° angle. This was one of the things I was noticing in the Richard Diebenkorn, Ocean Park series. There always was a "reason" for any non-vertical or horizontal lines, in this case it's my green rectangle. Just like you can see on the surface of the ocean if there's a big enough rock underneath, a way of acknowledging the volume of something that takes up space.
I marked out a lot more of these lines but haven't stitched them yet.
I think I'm going to stick with the very light green thread that I've been using. It's subtle enough that it's not fighting with the background fabric.
