So I bought some of her greeting cards, scanned them, enlarged them, and traced the images to make this quilt. Because I wanted to try something new, I decided to hand paint every image with permanent fabric markers and I used the tramputo technique on some of the dresses to puff them up. For every block, I used decorative stitche to make their uniqueness stand out. Adding to the various textures of the quilt, I also embroidered some flowers. To top it all off, I enclosed all these images within a iron gate and a hand-painted tree with branches, falling leaves, and birds.
Now for the more technical aspect, I used high loft batting and quilted it on my domestic machine.
Thanks for looking. I truly enjoyed making this quilt for a queen size bed! Happy quilting everybody![ATTACH=CONFIG]572597[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]572598[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]572599[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]572600[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]572601[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]572602[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]572603[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]572604[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]572605[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]572607[/ATTACH]
