It is extra protection, and nice when one is handling a lot to bead. People seldom see the maroon tulle when they are holding the block.

I looked at it enlarged so that I could see the tulle. Doing that revealed your very neat and precise quilting around each block. I am curious, though, about WHY the tulle? Did you feel that it needed some toning down or something? The overall concept of cutting out 72 separate tiny little pieces was clever and that must have taken you a long time. I think Joe's idea of adding a bit of black to it might enhance it, if you're still not satisfied with it! I thought Erika's remark was funny and apt!
