Sorry everyone. June has been especially hectic and this last week even more so. The piece was finished apart from the border but I just didn't have the energy to finish it - though after this morning's effort, I might have had better luck!!!
The piece is an homage to Ben Nicholson and Morandi. There were minor slip-ups along the way and at least one was a fortuitous boob meaning I had to add more turquoise - which I like. This morning my machine is playing up and the edge is scrappy. It is raw-edge appliqued, backed with felt, machine quilted and satin stitch edged.
I can't get the colour right - the background is much more creamy beige and the turquoise much brighter. Ho hum. It measures 17.5" x 11"
