On this blog the members of Sky-is-the-Limit group show the results of the challenge quilts they make. We started with each quarter a new theme, but have changed this to a monthly theme. Knowing that life can interfere with good intentions it is not compulsary to make a quilt each month, but at least 4 quilts per year should be doable. Every quilt measures 12"x12".

Cosmos
My first thought on getting the subject for this month was my garden. I do grow the flower 'Cosmos' so I kept that idea. I used batiks for the backgroung and crinkled silk for the petals The petal edges were coloured with inktense pencils.
This is a good take on the subject!.Cosmos is a favourite flower of mine.
ReplyDeleteI love it that somebody picked the flower Cosmea :-))
ReplyDeleteI like the touches of pink at the tips of the petals.
ReplyDeleteWow. Just realised the cosmos is pieced with a log cabin surround
ReplyDeleteGosh, I hadn't spotted that, Irene. Thanks so much for mentioning the piecing. Margaret, this is a lovely interpretation of "Cosmos".
