Urban decay

My urban decay quilt of which I blogged about a couple of days ago is finished. Here are some details of the quilting designs I used:

For the rusted fabric I used a variegated Sulky rayon thread, for the background a black Madeira thread.

And here is a picture of the total quilt:

Size is 20"x25" (50cm x 65 cm). I am not yet certain what to call it. Maybe 'Rusted Beauty'. Any one else has a better suggestion??

With Fiberartsconnsocal I also signed up for the Urban Decay challenge. The idea of this challenge is to use an inspiration source of urban decay and use a fragment of this. My inspiration source is a picture of a manhole cover with a Maori design:

I have permission of the photographer to use his picture. Of this picture I have taken a fragment to work with and enlarged it to the size I wanted. Background is black fabric and for the design I am using a rust dyed piece of fabric. This I fused to the background:

It is now ready to be quilted.
