| Don't you love the texture where the edges lift from the background? |
Here are some quilting detail shots:
I started in the center and used a simple stipple - okay - it is my version of a stipple. It is harder to quilt in these narrow areas because you have to hold the edges out of the way as you go.
In this square I did a spiral in the very center. You can see that there are LOTS of threads that will need cleaned up once this is finished. The green fabric does a lot of shedding. So I will spend a lot of time snipping those away - later.
I plan to mount this piece on a board of some type so that it will hang on the wall like a painting.
But for now, I have more quilting to do on it. I am planning more pieces like this. Hopefully, I will have the opportunity to hang them in a gallery in the coming year.
If you are curious about this technique, the class is on sale at Craftsy for $14.99 (at least it was when I checked earlier today.)
The same instructor, Carol Ann Waugh, teaches a class called Stupendous Stitching which is also half price right now. That is a low $19.99 for a great class. I did this piece in the class.

Very cool technique. I did a roses quilt this way in layers for a young girl. You are right about the quilting.....nothing much will show and some layers get in the way.
You nay not want to trim away all of the fraying threads. In the end, that might add to the arty look.
Very cool! How big is this? I can see an exhibit of numerous ones done this way.
Oh my gosh Gene, that turned out wonderfully. I does look time consuming but just fabulous.
What a ton of work! It will be a great artsy piece to hang.
That looks like a fun technique!
