Please share how to weave. It looks amazing!

This is what it sounds like. Woven cloth. 1 inch strips of commercial cotton were passed through a bias tape shaper and starch pressed. Then slowly (over 2 weeks actually) it was constructed. Colour changes are simple. Cut and insert another colour with a drop of fabric cement to anchor the change.
The whole piece was assembled over top a layer of stronger fusible material. As a finish, the whole piece is stitched so there are no loops to get caught.
I almost made this into a bag.

Oh, wow, amazing patience you must have!

a beautiful quilt with vibrant colors, are the leaves 3D? they really stand out

MaryKatherine

Yes, they are double sided: two materials fused (primarily to prevent fraying), one line of stitches over a thick backing with a little twist here and there, makes them flare. Thanks

What a fantastic idea for the background. Beautiful piece.
