So, I never did anything with it, it was just sitting in a pile of UFOs.
This month's challenge on SewCalGirl's blog was presented by Ann Fahl, and she presented a tutorial about free-motioning flowers and leaf shapes. So I got out some black thread, made a quilt sandwich with this piece of fabric, and started sewing.
I outlined the flower petals, then did some pebbling in the centers. I used some YLI Soft Touch thread in black (the only black thread I had).
And here are some of the smaller flowers--
I think the large flowers look like peonies. Lots of thread tails to be buried still!
The finished piece is about 18" wide by 30" long. Now what should I do with it??
love, love, love it! I love how the yellow comes through the pink. Great quilting too!
ReplyDeleteWell, you could send it to me! ;o) I love it!
ReplyDeleteGreat use of stitching on that awesome fabric!
Beautiful. Love how you painted the fabric. I have the setacolors but besides sky and ocean painting I haven't tried anything like that.
ReplyDeleteVery, very pretty! I'd use it to make a purse. There are a few patterns out there that call for pre-quilted fabric :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with a purse or tote!
