Darcy's Iris 60" x 65"
One year for Mother's Day my daughter, Darcy, spray painted this iris for me on a piece of fabric. I wanted to do something with it and finally decided on this setting after buying the book Batik Beauties. The blocks and sashes are out of purples, teals and a few golds.
I made a frame of the blocks on point and then set the iris on top of the frame with raw edge applique. The blocks are quilted in a triple cross hatch and the iris is free motion quilted following the design of the painting. I used lots of pale thread in the stamens to tone down the color a bit. If I get a better photo of the center I will add it at a later date.
