This morning I finished off the machine applique, found some fabric for backing, and sandwiched it all up. I used a double layer of batting so the applique will pop out from the background.
The afternoon was spent ditch stitching around all the various elements, there is quite a bit of puff in the background now so the quilting will have to be done carefully to prevent any folds occurring. No prizes for guessing what I will be doing this weekend.
Those "descending" flowers are fabulous! Love the whole top . . . usage of LV's and brights.
ReplyDeleteLove it Pip. Your palette for background fabrics is lovely. The additions of blues just sets it off. Love it all!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Pip, I love the way you've used your fabrics for all these elements, and those three flowers trailing down are just amazing!
