Well, it is done except for finishing the back and labelling.

Not sure which I think is the better colour. |

Maybe the top one? Maybe take an average!

This was fun to work on but now I want to dye a dedicated piece for the background of the "real thing". I will pare the sides down and make it long and narrow- like Milkweed! I may even do a diptych or a triptych if I feel REALLY crazy! Maybe three seasons? We shall see but definitely this one. I learned a LOT on this piece. It may end up being called Glorious Explosion. Right now it is still The Milkweed Project!
1- the metallic organza disintegrates when stitched over too much- heat transfer foil may be better
2- planning circular quilting ahead of time is good- I DID use a Chaco-liner which was a help and disappeared nicely. I was upset about the unevenness of the circles but in the end, I think I like it better than perfection. This is NOT drafting!
3- On the Real one I will be more careful with the placement of the bright patches of light. I had little choice here but when I dye my background, it will be better placed.
And, as I have not done it for a little while- Mr Personality!!!

On that note- Cheerio for now! Happy quilting :-)
cute and three season triptych sounds great!
ReplyDeleteI like your "imperfect" circular quilting on this one, reflects nature appropriately, I think. And what a cutie-pie that guy is!
ReplyDeleteMr. Personality indeed.
ReplyDeleteYou mean this piece is not the real piece but a practice piece? I think it's lovely and can't wait to see what's next.
I agree with KQ -- I often have to remind myself "it's a plant. It's nature; it's organic"…and I draw great comfort from that when I am inexact on a floral or landscape. :-)
ReplyDeleteP.S. Mr. P definitely lives up to that moniker!
Your milkweed is beautiful but the little man is gorgeous :)
