I'm very happy with how my quilt for Sue Ridgewell Challenge for QGBI AGM has turned out. The theme 'My World is Green' was inspiring and I'd forgotten how much I like the 24 inch square format - I've made a lot this size in the past. It's mainly inkjet prints of doors from my travels on Jacquard Cotton sheets or bubble-Jet set treated fabrics quilted to death but what really makes it is the silk lamination of inkjet prints of doors, again heavily stitched and cut back in places to reveal what lies underneath.

gorgeous! I would hang this in my house in a flat minute - really just my kind of taste - lovely lovely!
I agree, it's fabulous. The surface leads you further and further in and is so intriguing. I will look forward to having a proper look at the AGM.
Magnifique quilt, bravo
Nice one! Another iffy title suggestion: Doorway into a Greener World (very iffy!)
Wonderful work. I love it!Congrats!

This is the look of Spring which we are so looking forward to! Lovely work.
I believe that you have taken photos of many Greek doors, in which case you could call this piece the alliterative, but clumsy sounding Prasinnes portes (Green doors). How about just Sesame.
