I love Monet and Swans. I designed this quilt in stages.
I machine pieced the water and vines handing on the left.

Then I added the swans, water lilies and reeds and cattails.

There is a further description on my pages.

This is corny, by the 2 swans represent DH & myself going through life together.

cattails were yarn couched.

Waterlilies were individual petals fused and thread painted.

Drop dead gorgeous. And not corny---sentimental.
