Wooden applique block
Saturday, March 14th, 2020Fragments from an off-center turning became leaves and a flower for a framed wooden quilt block. The inner block was part of ther Creative Gambit wall piece in 2019.
I have added a border of color to fit the 7″ frame. A quilt applique technique adds shapes to an underlying block. Instead of stitching, this block is held together by glue. The turned leaves were shaped, cut in half, carved, and painted with leather paint. The veins are carved and filled with white liming wax. The flower center is an upholstery nail. Woodworking techniques applied to quilting habits. It’s my favorite way to work!
