Journal Quilt - May

At long last I have finished my May Journal Quilt!

This was based on the Marc Chagall window in Chichester Cathedral which I first saw many years ago and even today, I just love to stand and look at it each time I go to the Cathedral.

I used the colours and layout of the stained glass with the pieces of hand dyed fabric raw appliqued on to a black background leaving a gap between each piece to give the appearance of the leading.  I have stitched each piece to the background and then added various embroidery stitching to each piece.   This was then machine quilted along the 'lead' lines before edging in more hand dyed fabric.
