Results of the Sheer Sensation Lesson

Sue's piece uses silk leaves from an arrangement in her sewing room! She used fluorescent green and orange thread to quilt the leaves and the background.

Jamie used several different colored organza overlays together in one quilt. The ribbon hides the line where the blocks meet on the batting and backing.

For this quilt, Jamie used the contents of the kit. The background with the flowers is heavily quilted. This little quilt was then "buttoned" to the gridded background quilt after it was quilted.

Sue Anne placed the silk flowers on a background of In Good Company's handdyed fabrics. The quilt has a yarn binding.

Susan's autumn piece uses the fall colors of leaves which were placed underneath the organza. She "fused" the two colors of organza with a textile tool so there were no raw edges.
