Kimono Girls

Working on Kimono Girls design by Tilda’s World. I had some shiny objects aqua fabric with gold highlights and enough for the background so that got me started. I also had a lot of shiny objects fat quarters which would make the kimonos and sashes. Some fairy frost fabrics in my stash gave me fabrics for the flowers and buds. I had to order the black polished cotton for the hair and a neutral fabric for the faces. I used heat and bind featherlite to adhere the flowers and then stitched around them with batting behind. I am hoping when I quilt the flowers will pop out like trapunto. I will post again when I get the quilting done.

I don’t like the way the faces look like their bottoms are pointed. I guess the neck piecing fabric should have had more of a contrast. When I quilt I hope it will disappear.
