Le Challenge #2 - Wings

Image
I have to say this was an interesting challenge this month.  "Wings" hmmm??   I had some things I wanted to try but was not sure that I could work it into a challenge.  Then I saw  Geta's quilting studio tutorials   on Shadow Trapunto. I just had to try it.    Lots of cutting, even for my simple design. I would recommend the new embroidery scissors I won at my quilt guild the other night, however, I do not recommend using it on this project while on the phone. I snipped a thread a little too close and made a small hole in the organza. I covered it pretty well later but still!! :) Not sure if you can guess from that left over batting?? I wanted to use a multi-color fabric to represent the butterfly wings.  This ended up being really hard to photograph so I hope you can see the end result.    "Reverberate"   18" x 18" Holographic organza makes the shadow over the trapunto cut pattern of circling butterflies.
