Outlining Roses in Free Motion

Many years ago, a fabric store clerk looked at me funny when I bought this fabric with very large scale roses on it:

Each rose is 6 to 8 inches across. When she asked me what I was going to do with it, I simply said. “Art quilts.” I didn’t have anything specifically in mind, but I wasn’t going to let that stop me.
This afternoon, I cut off a 12 X 12” square. I also cut squares that were a little larger of bamboo batting and Pellon Décor Bond, which is a heavy duty stabilizer.

Then I layered them, with the batting in the middle. The Décor Bond is fusible, so I pressed it lightly to adhere it to the batting.

Then I proceeded to free motion quilt the petals of the roses.

Almost finished.

Stay tuned, and I will show you what I am going to do with this.
