Bought this wonderful piece of fabric, Convergence by Ricky Timms, and it perfectly suited my plan. I was trying to depict flowers and ferns that would be seen on the rainforest floor with the dappled sunlight filtering through the canopy. This was the first time I used discharge paste to create the feature design, so the outcome was always going to be a surprise as far as the colours were concerned. In a couple of areas I put a second application of discharge paste to lighten it a little bit more. When quilting, I made use of the fabric pattern to stitch leaves and ferns as a surround. There's a little extra wadding used to raise the main flowers. Made in 2009 Size 5ft square.
