Ashton can beat me in putting these puzzles together.
… as a Quilter
I cut out the petals from a fabric made of soft pastel colors.
I thought at first that I would quilt all the background +/- 1/8” apart so I started in the middle and was working my way out to the top and bottom. And then I changed my mind. I decided to quilt approximately 2” apart and then fuse my magnolia to the quilt. Why waste all that beautiful thread under the magnolia?
I highlighted the pastel petals with Inktense pencils and love the darkening effect.
