I created Confetti Fall for the Project Quilting Season 7 Confetti challenge.
First I made some confetti in fall colors. by whacking up some of my smallest scraps. I scattered them over a piece of water soluble stabilizer, then added another piece of stabilizer on top.
I added lots of free motion stitching to hold all those little pieces together, then swished the whole piece in water to dissolve the stabilizer. Now I had a piece of leaf "fabric" made from confetti.
To create a background, I selected one of my hand-dyed fabrics and added assorted fibers and shreds of fabric to create the tree shape, then layered and quilted the whole thing before cutting my leaf "fabric" in pieces and stitching it in place.

ReplyDeleteYour tree is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing how you made the confetti fabric. I want to try that.
ReplyDeleteI know this comment comes much later than the others posted, but your tree is gorgeous and the method you used to make your leaves is very clever! I was not familiar with confetti quilting until I looked into it today and while I have not yet tried it, I LOVE the means by which you created your leaves.
