Experiment


My latest quilt. This started as an experiment to work out my questions about some techniques I wanted to try for a new quilt that I am designing.... and then this little thing took on a lovely life of its own.   I just let the fabrics talk to me.        
The floral design was done by Broderie Perse, cutting out small pieces of flowers from a floral and appliqueing them onto fabric in a  totally new design that I made up.  Then I used Trapunto to give them extra stuffing so they stood out at different levels from the rest of the piece.        
Yes, That is a blue tailed skink I drew on the computer, printed onto material and appliqued onto the quilt. There are lots of them sunning in our yard.
