By request from DH, a quilt for a colleague who has an upcoming occasion. It has a sort of plant theme because of her job. I was inspired by a pack of black, cream and green 10" squares I got in the US and a brown quilt I have with a lovely leaf appliqued in a similar fashion over a background of squares. I actually got the top finished and the piece pinned together today, but then I had to take 10 girls swimming and to McDonalds for a birthday, so no more work beyond that.
I won't be appliqueing the fern down per se, but will rather incorporate the applique with the quilting (at the moment, it's just fused).

Oh, I like that a lot!
Very pretty. I like the "window effect" behind the fern.
I like the window look too. I have read a book that mentioned using the quilting to sew the fused applique on. I think that is an elegant solution.
Oh, Kate, that's beautiful! And you used Pure in the background - yummy!!
All I can say is that your DH's colleague is very lucky! It looks wonderful!
Love the composition of this piece. Your comment about 10 girls swimming sounded like a line from the 12 days of Christmas. It sounds like a great way to spend a birthday.
Love this piece. Fabulous!!
That is a wonderful quilt. I love it!
