The images shown over this and the following blog entry will detail  the steps taken in creating our mixed media art quilt shown at left.

A background fabric was selected ( a bali in this case)  and a medium weight fusible stabilizer ironed to the back (we used fuse a shade)

The pieced circular shapes were sewn using a paper pieced New York Beauty pattern.  An assortment of cotton, polyester and nylon fabrics were used to create the concentric pieced circles.  Place in corner of background fabric, baste in place and trim edges.
