Lisa made this amazing 120"x120" Rose of Sharon quilt. She added blocks to the original pattern and then had to modify the swags. She's been working on this stunning hand applique on and off for 20 years.
My quilt holders couldn't get the whole quilt high enough to see the swags properly, so here are few photos on the frame. inside the swags are feather sprays, and outside are piano keys. When Lisa dropped the quilt off she wasn't sure if she was going to leave the quilt square or scallop it when she bound it, so the piano keys are OK to be cut down and truncated if she chose to scallop.
The blocks were crosshatched, and the sashings got "egg and dart" This project needed simple quiltng to allow the hand applique to shine.
The back looks OK too. Thank you Lisa, for trusting me with your work of art.
Perfect quilt design for this top!
