I made this piece a while ago, and while looking for something for the SAQA auction, decided it was perfect. When I made it, the piece was about 16 x 16 and I really liked it that size, the problem is, it was very wavy around the edges. I think this type of work tends to have that problem. It was very heavily stitched, then because of the 100% wool batting, it shrunk heavily in the hot water wash and dry. I cut it down to 12 x 12 and carefully stitched on the backing as it was still a little wavy. I'm calling it Undergrowth as it reminds me of what you find when walking through the woods.
