In my last post, I showed my progress on my 2 entries to the next Fibre Art Network<\/a> (FAN) exhibit, ‘Botanical Reflections’.<\/p>\n

I have completed the first one, ‘Ginkgo Reflections’. \u00a0 It includes several of my favorite design elements – circle shapes, leaves and bright colors.\u00a0 In nature, Ginkgo leaves are a beautiful lime-green, turning golden-yellow in the fall.\u00a0 I opted to make mine in bright, fanciful colors.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here’s some information about how I made it.\u00a0 I made freezer paper templates for the quarter-circles and background.\u00a0 I pressed the seam allowance of each quarter-circle over the edge of the template, then machine appliqued them to the background pieces.\u00a0 I quilted the background before adding the leaves.\u00a0 I didn’t quilt the bottom section where the reflections are fused until after I attached the leaves.<\/p>\n

To give the leaves some dimension, I fused them to felt, then free-motion stitched the leaf veins. I cut each leaf with a narrow border of felt.<\/p>\n

\"ginkgo-leaves-stitched-to-felt\"<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The branch is made from a piece of purple bias tape.\u00a0 As you can see, I changed my mind several times about the placement of the individual leaves.\u00a0 After I finalized the position of the leaves, I attached them by quilting the narrow felt border of each leaf.\u00a0 Then I cut small pieces of fused fabrics for reflections.\u00a0 After fusing them in place, I finished quilting the bottom section.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here’s a photo that shows the quilting really well.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now I’m working on my second entry – ‘Maple Reflections’.\u00a0 For this one, I decided to quilt circular lines on the top half.\u00a0 You can see that I cut the batting from each corner, to reduce bulk, as explained in my tutorial<\/a> about facing quilts.<\/p>\n

\"terryaske_maplerefections-background_quilted\"\u00a0 <\/a>\"terryaske_maplerefections_leaf-placement\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’m just starting to select fabrics for the Maple leaves, but they will also be bright.\u00a0 I’ll use the same techniques as described above.\u00a0 Check back in a day or two to see my progress on this one.<\/p>\n

Thanks for stopping by.\u00a0 Today, I\u2019m linking up with these blogs \u2013 click on the links below, where you\u2019ll find many other creative projects to inspire you.<\/p>\n
