Can you see me is finished!

And as I told you yesterday here are the pictures of the finished 'Can you see me?' quilt. Total size of the quilt is 31"x31". In some places there are up to 6 layers of fabric on top of the batting and all the fabric which I used are commercial batiks. As I mentioned earlier, I made this quilt for the Adaptation challenge which is run on Fiberartsconnsocal

And here are some detail pictures. As always the quilt has a label on the back, but I also signed this at the front. If you look closely you can see that I wrote my signature plus the year on one of the leaves. This was an easy spot as the 2 layers of fabric have a fusible interfacing in between which makes it easy to write on.

Some of the leaves go across the binding. This 'freedom' is one of the reasons that I put on the bindings before I start adding additional fabric to a quilt.

Is almost done! I only have to attach the label to it and than this quilt is finished. In a way I wished I kept track of the hours I spent working on it. I know it is one of the most time consuming quilts I ever made. Picture of the finished quilt and some details I will post tomorrow.

Progress on the chameleon quilt is slow, but steady. On these pictures you can see that I have added some branches and the first leaves. Many more are still to come. Size of the quilt is 31"x31", so you can guess that it takes a lot of time before this one is finished.

I continued working on my green project. What I did this week was rather time consuming. I placed 5 pieces of different green batiks on top of each other and pinned this to the quilted background. My twin needle refused to stitch properly through this thick layer so I had to use a single needle and stitch two rows close to each other. You can imagine how many loose thread ends I ended up with. After they were neatly tacked away the quilt looks like this:

And this is a detail picture:

The next step is evenly time consuming and risky at the same time. I will remove the toplayer or toplayers of the fabrics. Hopefully I don't cut too many of the layers and end up with the background. More pictures will follow later this week
