It's an original adaptation of a little picture I saw in a quilt magazine years ago. Does anyone else cut out little pictures of quilts and put them in a folder? Well, I do, and this was one time I actually used it. As you can see from this previous post, I really like these flowers. I've used them before here. I love pulling in that dark red.
This was my first project to try several different techniques. I tried my hand at fused applique (flowers and leaves) and was very happy with how quickly it went together. However, I still used hand applique for the stems. The second thing I tried was to create a crazy patch piece of fabric for the ground and the wavy strip piece for the "sky". I'm very pleased with the way this turned out, the colors are very rich looking.
To me, this quilt in particular looks so good with the frame. It brings out all the gold in the wood.
And in case you think I forgot the kitty, here he is, hidden in the ground. What fun. I actually forgot where I put him, and had to hunt for a minute LOL!Until next time, make something beautiful
