Whales tails quilted

I quilted my whales tails yesterday.

The lighting for this photo isn't the greatest but you can get the idea. I think the sky thread color is a bit to dark but I can live with it.

Now to add some embellishments (wide grin).

The only thing I can't decide - the shading on the tails, I did with fabric pastel crayons and it was light, so last night I watered down some fabric paint and added it but it was to watered cause it just blended in. I'm afraid to try thread because if I hate it, I can't take it out. Should I just leave it or try the paint again, just not as watered down. Is there enough shading?
