starting indigo quilt

I have been really busy last few days, including a workshop with Tiggy Rawling yesterday, but that will be another post, when I'll finish a project started at the workshop.


I have at last started working on the Indigo quilt. I have stitched together all the pieces, plus the wadding and the backing.
I don't have a clear plan, but my intention is to cover each section in some embroidery, Indian or some other form of ethnic stitching.

To make a start (a warm up), I have been playing with some stitches and mirrors.

    It looks great so far, but then I'm a BIG fan of indigo print fabrics. I will watch how it evolves, and best of luck with it. Time is rushing by so quickly these days. Oh, BTW, I love the daffodils in the header photo, sooooooooo pretty!!

    Indigo is a wonderful colour choice for a quilt and it looks stunning. Spring is certainly in the air with your lovely new header. Take care.

    I love shisha mirrors, too...they bring good feng-shui to the quilt.So this will be a lucky quilt. ;)
    Must I say that I love blue, too ? :D I just wait to see the following embroideries that you'll make. I bet they will be superbe....Quite anxious. You know me ;).
    Keep stitching!
