Quilted Piece finished at last.

I made several images recently using heat transfer printing and have been working on adding to some of them. I used leaves as a masque on this print, and combined 2 colours, a sage green and a dull brown. I then quilted round using 1 strand of stranded cotton. I added beads and a border and backing of curtain fabric. I also added 2 leaves that I made using water soluble fabric and machine embroidery.
It reminds me a little of a 1950's bedspread because of the quilting and fabric. I really like the colours too .
