Progress


I have been making slow progress on my quilt.  I made the stems out of a red, green, and white paisley.  I wanted the stems to be like a transition from the red "blood" stain to the cream of the new wall paint.  I have started putting the flowers on, but I am just learning how to applique and they are going very slowly.  I added the border to tie in the leaves.  So far, I am pretty happy with where it is going.
How are the rest of you doing?

  1. I haven't started mine yet. I've got my daughter's wedding next weekend, and everything new is on hold until after that. I kind of have an idea, but not totally committed to it just yet.

  3. Miki, This is wonderful! I love how you interpreted the story in your piece. I always love seeing your "made" fabric, too!
