Autumn Trees - first layer -

Now that the second layer is coming together nicely -

I feel better about showing you guys how the first layer worked out - ;))

If you want to try it -

Try these -

I googled it - looking for Noriko Endo's book "Confetti Naturescapes" -

The first one is a step-by-step - similar to the book -

I think she probably appeared on one of their shows - ;))

1 - HGTV - HOW TO MAKE A CONFETTI NATURESCAPE QUILT -

2 - Confetti quilting -

3 - Rick Tims - Big Stitch Applique Over Confetti Fabric -

Anyway -

This is where I left off last time - all set to play -

And PLAY I did - LOL -

I had a great time sprinkling bits and pieces all over the batting -

Then I added some trees -

And took the middle one off -

I'll add that back when I do the second layer -

I showed you some of the background leaves -

And some of the ground cover -

Then I added the first piece of tulle -

And pinned it to try to "contain" the confetti -

Added the pinmoors -

And took it to the machine to FMQ it all with monofilament thread -

And it didn't look too bad -

But I didn't want to spoil the surprise ending -

So I stopped there -

And set it aside until my company left - ;))

This is a good breaking point -

And the saga will continue -

So stay tuned - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go- gotta sew -
