New Quilt, Skull and Heart

I love my new quilt!  I had so much fun making it.  I was able to do certain things on this piece that I had been wanting to do for a while.  First, work with more patterned fabrics.  Second, use a number of subjects in one piece, instead of one central figure.  My influences for this piece are Dia De Los Muertos and Pennsylvania German’s Fraktur artwork.  It is a small quilt measuring only 33″ x 30″.   It is basically constructed with applique onto a large print fabric.  Then the applique is embroidered.
