International Quilt Festival 2018

*LEAF BALLET*

 

This is my quilt that is participating at the International Quilt Festival 2018 quilt contest *World of Beauty*.

 

It all started by designing the shapes by hand and also by computer. Then I decided which part would be made with INC Infused newsprint Cloth and which part would be painted.

Afterwards I mixed the paint to match the thread I wanted to use, in this case Aurifl Lana. (8803 color)

 

After all the hand-work was done the three layers were put together and machine quilted.

And here it is hanging at the show under the surface design category. A dear friend from Wisconsin, Laurie Ceesay, took the pictures due to my absence at the show this year.
