Late Summer Roses - update 3

Late Summer Roses, by Sue Reno, WIP11
My plan for Late Summer Roses is to mount the needlefelted and quilted panel onto a supporting quilt. I use this technique often. I feel it's very effective in framing and highlighting the panel, and adding context to the imagery. Examples include Magnolia:

 Ice Jam:

And If I Woke at Dawn: 

If I Woke at Dawn
If I Woke at Dawn

Towards that end, I've pulled fabrics in two colorways and cut strips as a first step towards strip piecing.  The strips will then be cut and reassembled.

Work continues on the center panel. I've added in the background for the rosebushes:

And thread painted them. Now all it needs is the roses. I've carefully built up the background and am excited to finally add them.
