I have been working on this project on and off for a couple of months, and finished it in time for the Bloggers’ Quilt Festival, which Amy over at Amy’ s Creative Side hosts twice a year.
It is an experimental piece, which ended up as a wall hanging of approximately 70 x 70 cm.
My idea was to layer several fabrics with holes in them in order to achieve a three dimensional effect.
I wanted all the holes to have their edges finished in a different colour for each fabric layer, to make them stand out more.
Sewing all those holes took some time.
When the top layer was finished, I re-auditioned the rest of the fabrics.
Wondering which fabric to choose for the second layer.
It ended up being a dark red with gold specs.
Further on, wondering what to choose for the bottom layer.
It ended up being green with a gold net on top.
I thoroughly enjoyed working on this wall hanging, but I am already looking for what to do differently if there is a next one 🙂
The quilt is entered in the Wall Hanging category.
This is the 9thBloggers’ Quilt Festival. My quilts entered into the previous festivals can be seen here:
Be sure to head over to the Bloggers’ Quilt Festival to see all the wonderful entries.
