Landscape Quilt 3

I work on my Spring Landscape Quilt as often as I can, however, completing a section is a slow process. Often pieces have to be taken apart and redone because sections do not match properly. If you have a blade of grass that is made up of different pieces of fabric they have to line up or it doesn't resemble a blade of grass anymore. I have completed the lower left section of the quilt which is the section with purple irises. It is pictured below. I get a real thrill when the colours change and I can piece together a new flower. In the photo you can see part of a poppy that I completed in this section.

Here are some fabric pieces that have been cut in various
shapes and colours. You can see that some are miniscule.

One of the problems I run into is that as I am cutting fabric I wonder if there will be enough of that fabric to finish the quilt with. If I find that I am running out of a certain colour of fabric, I will run to the fabric store with a swatch and try to match it to something else that I can use to finish the quilt. 

Here you can see all those small pieces sewn together.

This is the lower left section of the quilt. You can already see
what appear to be irises and lots of foliage. At the top is part
of what will be a poppy which are also dispersed around the
quilt design.

  1. Wow. I had no idea how much work goes into your quilts. No amount of money can make up for the time that goes into it. It is looking absolutely beautiful. Keep up the great work.
