Patchwork Collage Fabric

Have been experimenting with this collage technique using my dyed fabrics. Above is a small bag I made. This was a gift that MaryLou was given at my sew group holiday party. This technique starts with 2" X 2" squares, layers of machine quilting, with a final decoration using the cover stitch on my serger.

Squares laid out and ready to quilt.
Horizontal and vertical stitching, using two different grey threads.

Cover stitch curved over grid.
Finished bag, was given to Sangeeta for a birthday gift.

This combines silk with some of my dyed cotton.
