Although it is a lot of flowers.
because I love this technique so much.
The quilting is free motion flowers in the black and a little meandering on the applique.

Carla, you are so talented with this type of technic. It is so beautiful that it almost makes me forget it is a creepy skull. Love it!
Gonna have to bookmark this one (and Pin it). I just love applique and incorporating it into my quilts. In fact I have to restrain myself. Great idea of hoarding all of those fussy cut flowers.
Love it! Reminds me of my trip to San Diego!

Oh, Wow lots of work went into that skull. Beautiful job
Very colorful!
Wow, just amazing! I doubt I will make a skull, but I would love to use the technique with the flowers for something. I think it would make an amazing wreath. Or maybe a Christmas tree cut from Christmas floral prints.
