(APP001) 100 Days of Greenery

Photographs captured of a wide variety of plant life at the local botanical garden inspired this hand needle turn appliqué quilt. Using AutoCAD, I translated these images into a template line drawing. Over the course of 100 days, each section of the line drawing was cut from a separate piece of fabric, and the background ombré fabric was revealed during the appliqué process, creating a stained glass-like effect. The gridded quilting is reminiscent of observing the outdoor world through a window screen.
