This is one of my absolute favorite quilts. It's a wall hanging for the museum challenge, the one where we make the quilts that are hung in the town museum. The theme for this one was colors of Canyonlands. I figured everyone would make something showing the rock formations, so I wanted something different. I love dream catchers and I wanted to try this technique, which is a kind of reverse applique. I used some "Marion" fabric, small pieces I found in the pile, and sewed them together to make a split 9 patch for the background. Then I drew the dream catcher, with the bow n the top and feathers hanging down. Then I basted the blue material to the back, sewed in around using the pattern I made. Then cut away the orange fabric from the front which allowed the blue to show through. I made the center of the dream catcher with embroidery thread. It is machine quilted in a circle around the catcher.
