Challenge 8.2 completed. I had never heard of a "Carolina Lily" prior to this challenge. Now I know what they are and will be able to spot them in quilts in the future.
I chose to do a wholecloth piece using a traditional quilt pattern for this challenge. Copies were made and placed on the quilt sandwich before quilting it along the lines.
Removing the paper after quilting was a bear! At this point I wasn't sure how I was going to proceed but wanted to add color.
And, of course, stamps were applied
I was pretty happy when all the ink was in place and stamps done.
I decided to practice my FMQ by covering the piece in various motifs I love.
Another quilt completed in one week! Thank you for the challenge.
I've greatly enjoyed seeing the progression on this lovely piece all week...and learning a few new tricks!

ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! Love the unique way you made this challenge work! bravo!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was fun. I am thinking I may take the binding off and incorporate this into the back of a vest or something like that.
DeleteAs a longarm quilter, I really appreciate that your chose to take this challenge to a wholecloth! Really thinking outside the box :) Love your use of ink for shading around the lilies and your use of stamps - unique and special. It would look really cool on the back of a vest, but with the ink on it, is it washable?
