Dancer and Rabbit

Another quilt from Charlotte Warr Anderson's book. Great book and if you ever hve the chance to pick up a copy I definitely recommend it.
i think one of my problems with realistic applique is that I found it too restrictive choosing realistic colours/fabrics. However I did learn a lot about value selection making this quilt and the rabbit.

Dancer and Rabbit

This design came from Charlotte Warr Anderson's book Faces and Places. 

At this time I thought I might go into applique and although I enjoyed this exercise it was not a thought I kept for too long.
