I started this quilt, called 'Litmus Paper' about seven years ago. It's one if my UFOs that never got finished because I was so terrified of my FMQ skills. Most of the fabrics are hand dyed and commercial batiks that I picked up in various shops and the Melbourne Expo. Here is a close up of the quilting detail.
I've called the quilt Litmus Paper because it reminds me of school chemistry classes when we tested liquids for their Ph balance using litmus paper.
The design is one by Valori Wells. I love her work.
I pieced the border using leftover fabrics and used a tutorial by Red Pepper Quilts to machine stitch the binding as I normally hand sew it, but because of a lack of time, I had to do it this way. I also downloaded a tutorial on creating a 'D' sleeve to hang it with. Another new experience. Thank goodness for all those generous bloggers out there so that people like me can learn from them - even in the dead of night!
This quilt will join the 'Boss-Eyed Bulls-Eye' as my very first exhibits.
