Iris Wall Hanging Finished

Posted on September 6, 2022 | 19 Comments

This project began as a request from my Step-Mom (whose name just happens to be Iris).

She wanted an iris wall hanging for a certain space in her home, so the project was limited to size.

Iris

She has never asked me for anything, so I really wanted to do this for her!

I tried to finish by her birthday, and I would have, too, if it hadn’t of been for a broken part on my sewing machine and Covid.

No matter!

Iris will have her wall hanging for Christmas!

I don’t do a lot for a label, but it does have one!

And the iris fabric on the back was one of the pieces that Iris gave me to use for the project.

I was going to echo quilt a .25 inch around the iris (it is closely outlined with invisible thread), but then I immediately forgot that I was going to do that, and just forged ahead with the background filler. Oops.

    Laura, what a dear step-daughter you are.
    🙂
    This is gorgeous…and the part that struck me most was the papery bud covering. Called the spathe, BTW! It actually looks light and papery in your quilted rendition. I noticed your corner hanging pockets. Perfect for that size of a wall hanging!
