After completing my "Dragon and the Princess" wall hanging which some of you may have seen, I have been working on some quilts and little wall hangings, but another large, ornate wall hanging has been calling to me.
I think I found it.
I came across a beautiful sculpture the other day. The original sculpture is done in tiles, with grout between. I'll just be doing it in fabric with satin stitching between.
What could go wrong?
My first question is, I plan to cut each piece out of assorted fabrics, fuse them to a foundation then satin stitch a thin line between all the seams. After that is done, I'll sandwich it and FMQ in the open areas.
If I am using a foundation fabric (cotton), will I still need to use a stabilizer so I don't get tunneling? And should I use a wash away stabilizer?
Does anyone see any glaring problems with this plan?
I was going to put up a picture of the art work that I am going to be working from, but I'm not sure I'm allowed to?
