Fairy Quilt finished ans bound
4 Attachment(s)
The hardest part of this whole exercise was to find pictures of fairies that didn't look like Barbie dolls or worse. I was very disappointed in Disney so I turned to the works of Beardsley and Rackham for what I considered more androgynous and innocent.
After looking at all your helpful comments I reject the paisley border because I wanted to quilt some additional fairies and vines into the borders. They would not be visible on the paisley. The off black material was best. I used a pale moss green for the quilting. I included a few pics of the fairies. Thanks so much for your input ladies! |
This finished out at 50"x60"

I love the fairies you quilted. They add so much more to the quilt and what a delightful surprise to find them hidden in the borders like that.

So beautiful! How did you do the quilted fairies in the borders? Do you longarm? I know nothing about how they work, pantographs etc! Are they in a computer program?
