No Littering, Cambodian Style

I'm returning to this quilt as I wanted to show you a detail. Above is the quilt before machine free motion quilting. I always love the way the stitching brings the image alive with subtle texture.

As I was dealing with a rubbish bin, I decided the thread tails, usually cut off could remain visible to further enhance the subject.

I also tore the fabric edges and encouraged fraying. The Viewpoints 9 challenges have allowed me to be bolder with experimenting with techniques and edge finishes. It is a great feeling of artistic freedom.
