"Macro" ~ Marlee's Quilt.


"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!

  1. 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!

    Thankyou so much Kelly!

  6. Kelly! 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.
