For February's JQ, I decided to tear up some strips of hand dyed fabric (I didn't particularly like it so thought it would be a good way to use it up!!) This was then woven together, some pale turqoise knitting wool included.
I finished weaving the strips, carefully placed the piece onto some batting and machined rows of stitching across and down to hold everything in place.
Trimmed, ready to bind, I tried placing some snowflake sequins on the surface, but didn't like the effect so removed them. I backed the quilt in white, bringing it to the front, and stitching down by machine, I purposefully left a raw edge for extra texture. I've also started to embellish the surface to give a textured finish.
