For all of you who have toiled thru the Monarch challenge quilt process…..THANK YOU!!!
When I left you yesterday, I only had a small piece of fabric and needed to make as many flowers as possible out of it…..
I pulled out my wonder-under and started carefully fusing it to various shaped pieces of fabric…..
When I had crammed as many flowers and buds in as possible, I had 18 new flowers and almost as many buds…..
I carefully cut them out…..
……not wanting to lose ANY of the fabric!!
There wasn’t much left when I was thru…..
I decided that some of the smaller circle buds weren’t needed. Instead, I turned a lot of them into larger ovals!!
I fused them to the flower and started stitching them down. Now I had another supply problem as I was running out of thread…..
Will the problems EVER end??
I sewed down the new flowers and then added the double-sided ones……
I LOVED how it looked…..
OKAY….come back tomorrow and I PROMISE that the Monarch Challenge quilt will be finished!!!

One thought on “Isn’t it finished yet??”
The milkweed looks so 3-dimensional with all the layers of flowers.
