'Blue Leaves'

Yesterday was the due date for the completed 50cm x 70cm challenge quilts for Queensland Quilters using the challenge fabric supplied, which must show on 20% of the front. My entry 'Blue Leaves' allowed me to play with the blue raw silk used in the central panel.

I machine stitched with a varigated thread, cut the repeated shapes out of tulle & stitched that layer to the silk with more varigated thread. I hand stitched inside the larger leaves before putting the quilt sandwich together. It was a fun quilt to make that came together quickly.
