African Safari - Fleur Maddern



Inspiration for this quilt came from searching through pictures on Pinterest as I have never been to Africa.
Cutting done - Before stitching


Close up of the eye
Fabrics used: Solid Black & Solid White
Threads used: Black, White, Beige, Grey
The Black fabric was cut with a 14mm rotary cutter and placed over the white fabric, all edges of the black was satin stitched with black or beige thread, using a domestic sewing machine. 
The eye was created using satin stitch of various widths with white, beige & grey threads plus a tiny white fabric applique.

After making this quilt I had all the leftover black pieces that were cut from the fabric to create the image. I used these leftover pieces to make my next Art Quilt challenge.
