The challenge I presented to the 2nd Monday Art Group was to abstract spring flowers and create a quilt piece. Using a painting of my own, I created this by fusing 1/2 inch squares to a black background, covering with various pieces of colored illusion netting, quilting overall, then adding the button and bead embellishments. What fun! 9-1/2” x 34”, it adds a brilliant colorful focus to my home. Original painting below:
