Stained Glass Angel

In our quilt class this week we are working on an angel made to look like stained glass. the original pattern was in Christmas fabrics but i didn't have any that i liked together so i improvised (as usual). Sometimes i actually DO follow a pattern...honest.

Here she is so far. not sure that plaid was a good choice. i like that better in person than in this picture.

and a closer view of her arm...which will be holding a snowflake. or she could be holding a flower, a bird, whatever.

I think it will be very nice when i get done putting all the black bias strips on it. that will be a few evenings work...it is pretty tedious.

Because it is a stained glass look it really shouldn't be quilted to death. i have fusible on the back of this part so it doesn't pucker when i sew down the bias strips. i guess i will just have to SID when quilting. I need more wall space in my studio to hang all these things up.
