In the center top is the work in progress surrounded by two older quilted pieces along with scraps of compost and rust fabric. The original idea soon took a new form when I decided to use a piece from the indigo sample. I'm stitching in place onto a felt back, not piecing.
Not sure what other fabrics will end up in this piece. But I just have to remark on the little yellow things--my new favorite quilting tool. Unfortunately not cheap. They are made of self healing foam that you stick on the end of pins. I always use those double pronged silk pins and I have stuck myself on those sharp points more times than I care to count. Quilters' safety pins leave holes in my silk not to mention they are a pain in the butt to open and close when you are sewing.
I'm really going to enjoy watching this develop, Pat....oooh, good stuff here!
ReplyDeleteThank you--it's coming along. I've done quite a lot of stitching since I posted this (free motion on the machine).
