The beginning
Again, because I don't have a design wall I'm tweaking my layout through the camera's lens.
This will be the center medallion of my version of Kim McLeans breathtaking quilt. www.gloriouscolor.com/userfiles/image/McLean/basket medallion 5.jpg
I'm doing it from the kit that contains most of the same Kaffe Fassett fabrics. Hopelessly lame to be using a kit but how else would I ever own anything as beautiful as hers?!
Doesn't it look ridiculous with that enormous dayglo basket with those pathetic spindly stems?
In this pic I haven't yet finished the left half of the stems. ...partly because I'm still working on that branch that's pinned down. That branch has been the bane of my existence. So far this is the third time I've stitched it down after making awful mistakes and ripping it up twice. It still has quite a stiff and angular curl but I guess it wants to be eccentric and I'm hoping the foliage and berries will overwhelm it and make that less apparent.
