I'm always drawn to paisley prints when fabric shopping so decided to do my own take on the paisley motif for this challenge.
I started the challenge with researching the history of paisleys. What a long and interesting history! Every turn and color choice with such meaning.
My paisley design is very basic in comparison but I love how it turned out. It will be a wonderful reminder to me about the rich history of this style of textile.
* Background is an ice dyed berry colored cotton.
* I cut the tear drop shapes from solid black cotton. The tiles are a variety of batiks.
* The batiks are fused to the black, then the black is fused to the background.
* Black net covers the whole piece.
* Free motion quilting is done on my domestic machine.
I hope you enjoyed my piece. Have a wonderful day!
I love paisleys... ! I like the way it also gives a stained glass effect. The quilting makes the paisleys pop.
