This quilt received two ribbons in the www.browardquiltexpo.com, held last weekend in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for Innovative Design and Judge's Choice.
That was a nice surprise since the methods I used are in fact an innovative way to blend paper and fabric. This is the first time I incorporated in the same quilt 4 ways of paper lamination: newsprint on thick cotton (blue background), magazine clippings (black and white appliqué), translucent paper (flowers) and colored prints and newsprint on a transparent layer.
After some machine quilting I did hand embroidery...
...added some beading
and more machine quilting.
