Catching the Sun

Recently I decided to complete a small improvisational piece I had started a while ago.

This is the top. The fibers are silk and hand dyed fabric. I like to use wool batting.

The background was densely quilted. The foreground was not.

For the binding, I chose this pretty chiffon for a soft edge. It looks lovely, but was quite difficult to work with. Too late, I remembered that last time I had used it for binding I had adhered it to cotton fabric. it is a little thicker that way, less soft looking, but much easier to work with.

This is the finished piece. It is about 12" x 12".
