UFO...Unfinished Object....



I am sorry to say that I started this about 7 years ago I think. I went to the National Patchwork Championships in London and saw Dilys Fronks making a quilt/wallhanging like this. I bought her book and started to create my own version.

It is supposed to be a garden looking through a wrought iron gate, I thought if I put it on here it might shame me into finishing it! The patchwork behind the black is done in a watercolour way as a suggestion of the garden, sky and trees and a path in the middle.

If you are interested the book is called "Enchanted Views" by Dilys A. Fronks. and the quilts are

inspired by wrought-iron designs. This picture is her interpretation of the wallhanging.

That is really different and so pretty. I've never seen anything like that.

This is really interesting. It looks like you have finished the hardest part. I tend to take pictures of gates on trips. I will have to revisit those photos and think about this technique.
