Just a day late this month. The first photo shows the front & back sections. The fabrics are all silks on a base of pellon with a layer of dyed flannelet over it. I’ve placed strips of various silks over the base with the sheer ones last. Then appliqued the flowers on top using vliesofix before stitching. The background is quilted with free motion swirls. Detail pics below.
April TIF
Sharon has posted the colours for April and again they are definitely not colours I like to work with. In fact browns are my least favourite but last night I found this strip quilted piece I did ages ago which has pretty much the right colours. So my challenge will be to embellish it with stitch etc. to try and make it acceptable as a bag fabric. I really don’t want to start something new with these colours.
March is beautiful-I love it. I agree, the brown set for this month will be a challenge.
Seeing your April TIF fabrics gives me “hope” (for coming up with something!)
I love your March piece. The flowers are so whimsical. Good luck with April!
The March piece is beautiful Linda and lucky you to have April’s piece already in your stash.
Your March flowers are full of energy! The fabric you found for the April TIF will sure turn out fine.
The March piece is gorgeous! Love the quilting!
green61Beautiful! It looks like spring.
I absolutely love your march piece. It is a happy looking piece.
Lovely piece for March!
The April palette looks very dark and sad to me, but your quilted piece is nice. It’s a good idea to use it for the challenge.
When I got to your page, my first reaction was WoW, I just love your March piece.
Love your March piece. Stunning! I’m with you on browns. But the colors I saw in the picture included blues, greens and yellows which add a lot of sparkle to the palette so I may do something there. It’s great you get to use an old piece; maybe you’ll like it more when you are done “change”ing it.
Beautiful piece, Very whimsical and happy. The swirl quilting is a perfect fit.
Your March piece is really beautiful. I love the colors and all of the detail stitching.
I think you have a really good start on April with your strip quilt. I’m looking forward to seeing what you do with it.
I LOVE this so much – my colours – so bright and beautiful.
how gorgeous! I love your quilting swirls in that pretty pink thread! thanks for sharing.
