Bollywood - Fleur Maddern

My "Bollywood" quilt is like an ideas board for the costume department of a Bollywood Movie.
It has images of closeup shots of an actresses' costume, belt & headpiece, 
fabric samples, trim sample and a brooch.
The 'film' running across the bottom of the quilt depicts the film industry.


Fused raw edge applique, machine stitching.
 Gold thread around the jewels.
Fused raw edge machine applique, machine stitching. 
Fingernails are red fabric appliqued and satin stitched.


Fused raw edge machine applique, machine stitching.
Chain is gold thread, variegated thread in the bobbin,
adjusted fancy machine stitch, 
 The 'film' is white satin ribbon triple stitched with black thread.
