Wow!!! Now that had to be a lot of work but well worth the effort. Happy that you showed the close-ups because the overall picture did not do justice to all the work that went into it.

Lovely - the ribbon work (or is it fabric?) is beautiful - twisted & woven ?

I love your quilt! The dimensional aspects you added are great, and the iris (my favorite flower) are beautiful. Good job!

The woven blocks were made with narrrow strips of fabric sewn into tubes and then turned right side out and woventogether and a couple blocks were twisted together. There is a dark purple cording on each side of the inner border. I made the cording from another batik. I used 5 strands of crocet thread inside the cording. I am a former bridal seamstress so some of the techniques are bridal and some are quilting and some I just made up as I went along. It was quite a chalenge to make this quilt. It took a long time, too.

There are two blocks that were just tucks that were stitched going different directions and an embroidery stitch was sewn on top of the stitching line. I just made up some things as I sewed.

Thank you for all the compliments.
