New Hydrangea quilt project

This is me happily starting the school holidays this past weekend with a day-long class to find out how to make this beautiful dimensional hydrangea quilt by talented quilt maker Adrienne Walker : 

We were well set-up at a friend's house 

the pot-luck lunch was delicious

and by day's end I had made a single leaf

an organza sandwich for a skeleton leaf

and a couple of flower petals

This is what the whole group completed : 

Since then I have set myself up a wee kit so I can make more flower petals every chance I get - MANY more flower petals. One of those flower heads has at least 70 petals! I am going to do a variation on this quilt but probably still need to complete 2 heads....

Only 133 petals to go, and quite a few leaves as well. I will keep you posted with my progress.
