"Murky Weather" I and II

These little quilts (7"x10") were inspired by a piece of grey(ish) hand dye. After I used some of it for Conundrum, there was enough left for four more small pieces.

The first, "Endless Rain", got made all in a rush (as you can probably guess from the wobbly stitching; must try harder...) - it still needs the edges finishing -
Next, "Passing Shower" - here's the layout and thread audition -Some of the pieces are removed and the stitching happens in layers. Lots of ends to tie off on the back (but I won't be burying the threads!) -
The final stitching is with invisible thread -
