Felt Applique Wall Hanging

 

This is a felt applique project I made for my mother for Christmas last year. It took many hours to make. It's quite large - I forget how big but it was designed to be about the length of a king size bed. Most of it is from various patterns by Horse and Buggy Country, but I changed the colors to suit my mom's color esthetic. 


A chick was eliminated from this panel and the tulip colors were changed from red and white to pink. My dad hates red and I was careful to make sure there was only a token amount of it. (I was a bit sneaky about including orange as well.)  

The flowers I wasn't completely familiar with I looked up online so I'd have some idea of what they should look like. 

The bunny was changed a little bit to make it more anatomically correct and to look like our little bunny, Bridget. Any rabbits I do in future I will draw out myself so they are more accurate.


This panel was done first. I think it's pretty obvious. It looks sloppier than the rest. 

Since my mom likes black eyed susans some of those had to be included. I also made subtle design changes to most of the small blocks. I did them last and was getting the hang of it. 

It's all hanging on a dark blue background since my mom didn't want any black. She wanted it to be cheerful and colorful so I did my best to make it that way without making it look gaudy. The colors on my computer are not true to the actual project but I'm not a good photographer (you all have already figured that out).
