dragon wallhanging

I finally finished the dragon wallhanging! (after almost two years!)

This is the finished wallhanging done in fabric.

I used a sewing machine to put the colors in the right places, then handsewed the 1/4" black bias tape to make the stained glass effect.

This is the paper proto-type I made as a full sized mock-up to test the idea. I scanned the actuall fabrics I was considered and added the textrues in the correct places.

The paper sheets are taped together on the backside.

This is the original black and white line diagram I started with.

I printed this diagram out full size, then traced it on a 'yucky' fabric. I sewed on the traced lines on the yucky fabric, with the good fabric face down on the underside, then cut the extra fabric away from each peice, kinda like doing a crazy quilt. I covered the 'fuzzy' seams with the black bias tape. The back is a mess of the seams that I used to sew the black binding on, so the quilt is not 'quilt show' able. but, I am happy with it, and that is the important part.
