Feilong (Flying Dragon) was made for my City and Guilds Course in Patchwork and Quilting (Part1). The main body of the dragon was made separately over a padded calico base before being appliqued to the background. Each scale is a double sides circle of fused fabrics, and the silver crest is made from painted kid leather. The orange and yellow fabrics are all hand dyed, and the design of the surrounding ribbon was inspired by the scales on old dragon illustrations. It is completely hand quilted in an echo pattern.
