Finished Quilt!

I've done it!

After at least a year Curvy Ladies is finally finished.

 It has been a long process working on the design,seeing the quilt

 slowly emerging from concept to completion.

I know that the idea of this quilt came when Catwalk with the tiny models was finished.

You can see that quilt at my Gallery.

I thought....Curvy  ladies are so much more natural.

So...here it is!

The quilt is 37 x 46,5 inches, 94 x 118 cm.

 I've used both regular quilt fabrics and fabrics that I printed and painted myself. 

It's quilted on the mashine and with cotton batting in between the layers.

 

This was a scary part of the work......

 I dripped and poured paint over the top and hoped that it would succeed.

It did!!!

The shadows behind the women are sewn with a dark thread

 and with tiny, tiny movements all over the surface.

The quilting patterns are leaves pendant along a winding stem

 and some parts are quilted in a tightly lined pattern. 

This to achieve a contrast and a more exciting surface of the quilt.

This woman is in a position to show that she is a person of courage and self-esteem.

I like that!

This is the back of the quilt and a detail of the quilting.

Well....I hope you've enjoyed looking at my latest quilt!

Happy Quilting!
