The fabric is iridescent Dupioni Silk. I used a gorgeous floriani thread in Fuscia for the main design and 100 weight Micro Quilter from Superior Threads for the background quilting. It was sandwiched with two layers of Hobbs Tuscany Cotton/Wool.
My goal in putting this together was a lovely focal point surrounded by feathers. Since my friend loves flowers, this rose was perfect. I think the grid work really brings out the flower and love how this turned out. Smaller whole cloth quilts can provide great satisfaction quite quickly.
It's glad to be back. I'll be showing photos of my new studio soon. I'm not used to such a large space. Have a super quilty weekend and check out the blogs on my sidebar!.
