The progression of making an Asian Style comissioned quilt.

An Asian Style commissioned work, the progression and

completion. A pictorial story.

Applique of the "Waves"

I used many commercial fabrics and created some striped fabric very easily. First used was metallic paint to make the lines, Then free motion.

adding more metallic painted applicated elements

The moon was made with thread painting in metalic thead very tightly

I finished by appliquing fussy cut crane from commercial fabrics.

Here's the finished quilt.

  Right back at cha girl!!!
  Actually this Asian style was very close to an outdated Hoffman panel that my client wanted as a gift. So I attempted to recreate it, but with some differences. It turned out nicely I think.
