Detail
The background of this quilt uses a beautiful batik fabric I purchased from my friend and neighbor in Canada. The blend of colors from light yellows, greens, and purple has determined the color story.
The original design included applique elements of seaweed. I, on the other hand, decided to create a 3D effect of fabric strands, eyelash yarn, shells, and buttons to make it even more impressive.
I am equally happy with the tie-dyed fabric on the back that resembles a coral formation in the ocean.
