Daylilys On Quilts

I really admire the quilts and collages made by Connie Rose. So,  I decided to use some of my daylily photographs to make a couple of small quilts in the style of her Italy quilts. These are the finished pieces.




I learned that it is not as easy to work in this style as Connie Rose makes it look. It's very hard not to end up with awkward negative spaces. It was fun, however, and now I get to enjoy my photos in a quilt, not just on a computer screen.

As a result of this exercise, I have come to admire her work even more. Check out her work here, and  here. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

(EDIT:  This was scheduled to post while I was away for the weekend, but for some reason it didn't. Maybe it was waiting till next September 18th? Anyway, here it is now. Hope you liked it. I'm off to try and catch up on everyone on my Reader.)
