Today is the Fiberactions Group reveal day.
Our theme word is texture and this is named
Textures of Life
The seed pod theme and color way were revisited as well as using the vintage, hand pieced blocks (shown at the bottom and used with the last challenge.)
This is a traditional three layer quilt which was constructed with a top, batting, backing and then quilted. Gesso was painted over the finished quilt, background color was added, the pods were masked then painted and stitched.
The thread did the work and maybe for the first time embellishment was not added for texture.
Head on over to Fiberactions and check out the challenges as they are posted throughout the day.

What a great way to use sad old blocks that would never otherwise find a use. It really is a beautiful work of art. I love how the under blocks add a subtle background texture. Your painting & quilting are both divine!
