Dandelion Art Quilt

Butterfly release :)

Instructions

Was in the mood for a little whimsey in the art studio so I made this quilt after seeing something similar online. No pattern, just winged it. :) Speaking of winged… made about 50 french butterflies too to brighten up the studio. They are in the extra pics.

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Whimsical, Mod


Materials

100% Cotton fabric

What was your inspiration?

I saw one similar online somewhere long ago. No idea where now.

What are you most proud of?

The feeling I get just looking at it.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

So easy! I used the freezer paper turn method to create the circles and hand appliqued the "seeds" and the stem, but decided to leave the flower seed stems loose for a 3D effect. Not easy to see in photo, but came out awesome in real life as they lift off the quilt.

I pinned this last night on pinterest - I love the concept of those 'petals' or whatever the fluff of dandelions is called, blowing away in a breeze. I've though of doing something like this with regular flower petals. I like it!

ESP Cathy! We had high winds here yesterday and as I looked at my poor roses with half the petals gone, I seriously am thinking of making another one showing the rose petals blowing off into in the wind! Now where's that sketch pad? lol Need to get them sketched for my inspiration. My poor babies darn winds!
