Chartreuse & Blood Orange

I chose two colors I've been intrigued by, chartreuse and blood orange, not a combo I usually work with but I found I had numerous pieces of fabric in my stash that would work well together.

I had so much fabric, in fact, that I was drawn to complete two quilts for this challenge.

The first, Silk Road, is silk hand stitched with silk thread, and measures 29 x 21 inches.
The second piece, Chrysanthemum, is made with various cotton fabrics shiboried over the last few years.  Except the digital image, which was printed on two layers of silk organza.  Finished size is 26 x 16 inches.

Lots more photos and information are on my blog.

  5. Wow, Connie - 'Silk Road' has beautiful textures, and I appreciate the whimsy of 'Chrysanthemum', in which I detect the subtle influence of your collages. -sus
