I'm back with some close-up details from my Wonderland quilt finish, as promised in
my previous post.
To represent the caterpillar, I added hookah blocks. The top portion is composed of machine appliquéd bias tube I flipped using a
Dritz Quick Turn. The bottom was partially curved piecing, and partially traditional piecing. I employed some serious fussy cutting.
The white rabbit was paper-pieced and quilted with a fur-like free-motion design.
A cake slice, liquid vial, and key were also paper pieced.
You can see one of the many prints I used from
Cotton + Steel's Wonderland collection in the paper-pieced hat.
A paper-pieced tea pot and traditionally pieced cup with an appliquéd bias strip handle were added to the sampler.
The roses are improvisational pieced, while my flamingo was paper pieced. I chose free-motion designs to add a touch of realism.
The card suits, with the exception of the paper-pieced diamond, are all raw edge appliqué fused with
Steam-a-Seam II Lite, machine appliquéd with a decorative stitch.
The Cheshire cat is a combination of curved piecing, paper-piecing, and machine appliqué. I used a black fabric marker and strategic fabric placement to make the stripes appear continuous.
I hope you enjoyed my closer look. See you soon!
