Originally the pattern (April Birthstone 'Diamond' by MJ Kinman) is done in some foundation piecing technique where you piece the individual pieces together bit by bit - I didn't really understand how the designer really wanted it done, sorry. Insteady I handled it as classic foundation paper piecing, sewing on and through the template.
The result at least looks more or less like the photo on the pattern, and that's what counts, right.
I cut a large heartshaped opening into the background and appliqued it onto the heart. I saw this technique in the Quiltmanufactur in Frankfurt (were you actually still can see this wall hanging done in reds and pink)
I've finished the pattern maybe mid of last year, I think.
Don't exactly know why it took me forever to actually quilt this wall hanging. There are just some straight lines for crying out loud, and not very many of those either.
But I like the effect.
