Gail's Pun...Music, the staff of life





I had several ideas that I'd been mulling over, but when a friend teasingly said "make me a music quilt" I had my quilt!  This is such a wonderful place to try new techniques.  New to me were the dotted phalange in the binding, sewing in sequins (which worked beautifully), and using variegated thread in a machine fancy stitch.  Thank you again Mavens for challenging me.  This one was very difficult mentally!

  4. Great job of using new techniques Gail. I must get more daring! My music-teacher daughter would love this! With the addition of the sequins and fancy variegated stitches, I can just hear all of the musical
    notes!
