Flores
Name of Maker: kdub7
Flores - My friend taught me how to draw this flower, so I decided to take it a step further and make it into a quilt. Each individual petal has an embellishment design, all of which I did by hand. It was a challenge, and took a lot of tracing on to wax paper, but now I only have to finish the sleeve! The odd shape and puffiness of the petals added difficulty in quilting and hanging, but I have discovered a way. Eventually I will update a better picture...
