Landscape Confetti Quilt with Sally Manke

Create a woodland scene with confetti cut fabrics “painted” on quilt batting. Layers and layers of tiny bits of batik, hand dyed, silk and solid fabrics create landscape. Fussy cut trees, rocks and flowers are added before topping with a layer of tulle. Quilting threads embellish the art quilt with free motion stitching.
