Burgandy 'Passion' wall hanging

I was inspired to make this wall hanging from a picture I found in a book. Then last week a friend mentioned her had been to an estate sale where she discovered some beads. I went and found several that I will use on this wall hanging.

Initially for the wall hanging I found several different fabrics in similar tones and sewed them onto the cotton quilt batting. Next, I cut out three shapes and randomly arranged them on the piece. Then I sewed the words 'take your passion, make it happen' around the shapes. I've started to sew some of my found beads onto the fabric pieces now.
The embellishing begins...........
