Influenced by my life, petrified wood, and a bucket of frozen water, I chose a pallet which was foreign to me. I have been a realest focusing on detail. Branching out and becoming freer with this piece was difficult but rewarding. Through the use of hand dyed and batik fabric it was fun to see the radiation develop. The circle represents my life with a lot of jigs and jags.
Materials
I used a lot of my hand dyed fabrics as well as batiks and a few regular cottons. The batting is 100% cotton and the threads are cotton blends.
Techniques
I combined machine piecing, hand applique, and fusible applique. Using long running stitches I quilted the circles then machine quilted the overall image.
