This is a section, a little less than life-size, of a small quilt I made this year experimenting with leather cut-outs. It was recently displayed at a small local craft fair where there was considerable positive feed back – enough to encourage me to consider making a larger one or taking this idea further.

There are holes punched from the leather, and what looks like little bits of leather is stitchery in the same colour on the black. One comment was that it looked like the squares were rusting and disintegrating. Exactly what I had in mind , so, with some amount of time on my hands just now, that will be an avenue to explore further.
