We are going to have a look at how to make a Floating Quilt.
A floating quilt is a quilted or single panel fabric background with appliqué and embroidery stitched over the top.
The best part about a floating quilt is you can make the background and size of the quilt, any way you like.
You can create your background by joining a whole lot of strips, like a jellyroll quilt. This can be done randomly, colour blocked or set up as a scene.
You can use a single panel of fabric like an ombre or a patterned fabric to make the background for your quilt. Your imagination is the limit.
Once you have your background picked out or stitched together you then get to floating your in the hoop applique and embroidery around the quilt.
