More Flower Power

This morning I've been working on my own flower picture for the Quilt University class - Flower Power.

First I started out with appliqueing a light pink fabric to the base using UDA (upside-down applique).




Then I overlaid that with a slightly darker pink fabric.



Stitch it down upside-down.



And then cut the outside away very close to the stitching.

This still doesn't look like much, does it?



And here we add another piece.



Slowly it's taking on a form.



A little snip of yellow.



And some machine embellishing.



More free-motion work with variegated thread.






Now there are just some yellow beads to add and voila!

That's a pretty cool flower you wind up with. Was this one of your Quilt University classes?

Yes it's a Quilt University class. This class always fills up very quickly and they'll have an "overflow" class in March. I'll probably try this flower again and embelish it a little different, that is if other projects don't get in the way. haha

Very cool Gabriele, it will be fun to see the quilt unfold.
