Photos on quilts

This year my challenge group's theme is 'Flora'. Each meeting will be a challenge to try a new technique and make something with it. I have decided to make a seies of small quilts representing different times of the year, which I can hang in my kitchen. The first task was to print some photos onto fabric and use them in some way. I have printed photos before, but have never been really successful at incorporating them into quilts.


I decided to print some pictures of crocuses which I found on the internet. Some were purple and some yellow.
They were different sizes, but I managed to get them to play together quite well by bordering the purple ones with yellow and the yellow ones with purple.

Then sashing it all with green.

A piano keys border of yellow and purple, some lilac binding and here it is on my kitchen wall! Very suitable for this time of year!
