Last Finish of 2023
Applique Improv #4 This piece started out with leftover cutouts from a previous appliqué project arranged on a small length of batik fabric: These improv pieces kind of develop organically. The batik fabric was cut away from the back of the appliquéd areas and those cut outs were arranged on another strip of fabric, and so on, until the right size came into view. In this case the final piece measures 43.5 x 42.5 inches.- almost square. Here's a detail of the hand quilting; a combination of seed stitching and echo quilting: I already have a new piece laid out on the bedroom floor. (I better get to it, before it gets stepped on.) Guess you know what I'll be doing New Years Eve! 😉
