The irises are just finishing blooming, so I thought I better hurry and show my Iris Quilt.
I made this 20" x 25" wall hanging in June 2007. Similar to my Tulip Quilt, it's a pattern from Details by Diane. I made it back when I was using batiks. I kept collecting them and not using them, so I got rid of them all last month.
The construction method is fused raw-edge applique. All the pieces, even the cream background, are fused to a large piece of black background fabric, then the edges are sealed with scribbling stitching.. It was fun and easy. I sure like to fuse things.
I used a variety of greens for the leaves and stems to give a little dimension.
These irises smell just like grape jelly.
I like the way iris blossoms are spread out along the stalk. From that one bud point, others keep sprouting, like magic.
Then I have my iris vase to fall back on after the blooming season is over.
