I cut the flowers and background black to the dimensions of my pattern and then skim a bit of the focus fabric away from each piece giving me a stained glass effect when they are puzzled together on the black. All the elements are then fused in place and quilted with monofilament thread. I stitched small tangled leaves in the background. How tweet is this?!
All in all I was pleased and the best part.....It's been done for a week! I wasn't up all night trying to get done in time! Yea me!

ReplyDeleteLovely, I see three colours plus black, but it's a wonderful quilt all the same. Plus I'm seriously considering using white as a highlight for the birds in mine too so I can't really talk. :)
ReplyDeleteAll is well that ends well and your little tweeter in his garden is very well (done).
ReplyDeleteI love the black "lines" on all the edges of the applique. You also picked orange-was it seasonal? :)

ReplyDeleteThe many different prints really make this such a lovely quilt Lizz. I love the appliqué technique you have used and the stitching is top notch. I am envious of your perfect mitred binding :-)
