Picture Appliqué

This stunning quilt belongs to Anthea.  She does gorgeous appliqué, which she pads for a beautiful 3D effect. 

This quilt was designed to depict the appliqué as though they were pictures on a wall. I quilted straight lines behind the appliqué ‘picture’, following the lines in the fabric to create the feeling of wallpaper.
