My very first art quilt ocean treasures !

I am so excited to be sharing my first finished art quilt ! i started with a piece of dyed cheesecloth and i embellished it on my embellisher with merino wool, silk fibres. I added some hand and machine embroidery, angelina fibres lots of beads and shells. I felted it to some blue felt and then added a quilted border which i machine quilted with variegated thread. I definately need more practice with the free motion quilting.

I am so pleased with how it turned out and i love the colours. I managed to find some batik fabric with the same colours as my embellishments and i used this to add the small border and binding. I hope you like it and i would love your feedback ! thanks for looking !
