The word for the 12 connected group is color and the grand reveal took place on April 1. You can see the rest of them at www.12connected.blogspot.com. For my piece I chose to cut up a lot of different batiks with a serrated rotary cutter. Then I fused the batiks to my black background fabric and free motion quilted over them to hold them in place. I quilted the background fabric and bound the whole piece about a month ago.
It took me until just last week to finish needlepointing the circle using lots of different fibers. I cut away the excess canvas and sewed the circle to the quilt. Then I crocheted two of the needlepoint yarns together to form the edge around the needlepoint. I sewed this yarn on top of the canvas by machine. I really enjoy hand work so the needlepoint was fun to do when I had quiet moments in my day.
