This is a long and skinny (7" x 36") art quilt that I have created from a piece of eco printed wool fabric. It has a peony leaf as well as maple, oak, black elder, and more.
The backing fabric is also 100% wool (a hand dyed tweed that I purchased that goes just perfectly!) and it extends to form an informal border on the quilt. The black cotton batting that I chose peeks out from behind the eco print wool to give a little zing.
The background is free motion machine quilted in wavy lines and the leaves are all hand stitched.
The organic look of this piece will make a statement in any setting ... the edges are unfinished and just a little bit off-square. I added a hanging sleeve to one of the narrow ends so that it can be hung invisibly from a 6" dowel ... very easy! (it does hang straight from the top edge, not on an angle as the photo appears!) It could also be draped across a table or piano ... or even wrapped around your neck as a statement scarf.
This piece is now available in my Etsy shop https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/498726654/eco-print-wool-art-quilt-wall-hanging?ref=shop_home_active_1
