Playing with Pansies

I do love to 'play' in the sewing room. I used another linen from my great bargain bash, added embroidered pansies cut from something, and culled out some pansy handkerchiefs to make this wall quilt hanging.

The pansy embroidery was centered in a lace edged doily which was centered on a handkerchief with an embroidered pansy.
 Everything is applied to a fat quarter of a yellow floral print.
 I cut the handkerchief corners and layered them from the quilt edge with points towards the center.

 I like to use sheer cotton or nylon handkerchiefs in this manner. I like how the underlying fabric shows through for added texture and interest.
I have a lot pulled out for future play!
