Coleus Palette Challenge Stuff

"Savannah Tiger"

10½" by 11½"

Cotton fabrics and threads, fused appliqué

This month's Color Palette Challenge from Three Creative Studios  is coleus colors.  You can check it out here.  I used two green strips from my hand-dye stash -- the rest of the greens were from the box o' blue/green scraps.  The dark reddish colored fabric is another hand-dye.

I had a lot of fun playing with the quilting around the tiger.

I used a new (for me) technique to finish the edge.  Judy Coates Perez had a tutorial on this here.  Easy-peasy -- and it looks great!  Yes, I know it's just pinned; I'll sew it down later.

Also for this month, I dyed a couple of scarves in the challenge colors.  This one is silk.

And this one is a silk rayon blend.  I'm a little camera-shy, so Rosie graciously offered to model for me.
