I recently started work on a new rain forest design, but using different techniques to the ones I used in ‘Forest Giant’. This time I have made the background using foundation piecing, using mostly batik fabrics in varying shades of green for the foliage, and browns for the forest floor.

The picture shows the foundation pieced background with some foliage and trees added. The trees in the background are fused in place and then the trees in the foreground have the edges turned under to raise them slightly and are stitched in place with invisible blind stitch. For the foliage and small jungle floor plants I have fussy cut shapes from a batik print, fused them in place and then stitched round the edges with invisible thread.
