"Macro"
Inspired by Marlee's own macro photo's, and one that I took last year.
I pieced the background differently for each section of flower.
And then appliqued the Freesia over the top, to be the focus.
I quilted each section differently, some heavier then others, to try to flatten and push it to the background.
I love the texture and colour in this quilt, I'm really proud of myself!
I feel like I really thought outside the square.
And the best bit? Marlee loves it!! Its hanging on her dining/sewing/craft room wall!
I am so lucky. I can't stop touching it, I have seen lots of quilts, but never had the opportunity to get up close to one - I can't believe the detail!
ReplyDeleteThankyou so much Kelly!
way outside the square, what a great effect. And so satisfying to say "I did that" - yeh all of it!
ReplyDeleteI admire any quilter, there is so much work involved !
Well done for doing something outside your comfort zone. This is very beautiful and modern!
ReplyDeleteKelly, that looks fantastic, i love the quilting ...looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteIts awesome - congratulations
ReplyDeleteKelly! This is amazing! You should be very proud of yourself. I love the quilting - is it machine quilted? What a great idea to quilt the background heavily to make the rest "pop" out. Fantastic! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWow! That is truly lovely! Very inspirational!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous Kelly - you should be proud of yourself!
