BJ Reed Giant Poppy Pods I

The focal point of this small contemporary quilt are the Inko Dye transferred prints of Gigantium Poppy Pods. The prints were transferred onto a light colored commercial Batik fabric. Don't you just love those helioprints, they are magic to watch develop! The printed background has angular free motion quilting. The lighter multi-colored Batik fabric was free motion quilted with variegated heavy weight thread. The quilt measures 11" by 20".
