Lost & Found XI. 19" x 21". Found objects hand-stitched to a section of an antique quilt. Found objects include a hand mirror; Christmas tree light reflectors; casino chips; gold flatware; hair curlers; small dominoes; screw eyes; Barbie doll clothes hangers; paint brushes; off-white, flower-shaped washers; Princess phone key chain rings; beads and assorted buttons.

This is the first time I've used the back of a quilt as my foundation for found objects. I started using the "front" but just didn't like it. I auditioned other pieces of quilts but didn't like them either. Finally, I flipped the first piece over. Perfection! I'm really pleased with the results and might do it again in the future.

This piece has a strong but lovely elegance about it. Such a good idea to use the quilt back.
Beautiful, stunning!!!
The quilt back is perfect as it doesn't detract from the design. Love the colours
