Wall hanging quilts are perfect for using in room decorations. I started this hot air balloon quilt for my son's room. For this quilt, I preferred bright, colorful fabric for the patches at the balloon. I am a big fan of the bright colors, actually. The balloon has a pocket basket in which any toys can be replaced in. A bird and a butterfly which were apliqued fly with the balloon in the sky. Below there is a village with a house and some trees of orange, cherry and apple. I embrodied the cherries and made apples and oranges of tiny pieces. The finished form of the wall hanging quilt measures 24x32 inches.
I made the balloon with english paper piecing technique, pressed with iron and removed the papers. Then I appliqued it on fabric with invisible stitch.
I used the same technique for the bird also. These tiny trees with various fruit on are absolutely my favourite. I definitely like making them. In the images below you can see the details of house and trees in my hot air balloon quilt.
