patchwork samples

These are four different types of patchwork I have done, using a variety of very vibrant, girly, and somewhat childlike fabrics. The top image I have tried creating my own three layered patch which did not turn out how I imagined although I do like the effect of the mesh on top slightly revealing the bottom layer. The top right image is a sample I created using orange satin stitch in a circular shape stitching the printed blue and white fabric onto the synthetic shiny fabric, I also inserted the back of these circles with thin wadding. I really like this sample as it looks more wearable only the synthetic fabric was extremely hard to sow on. The last two samples includes crazy patchwork, The left image sown on sewing machine and the other by hand, I personally prefer the hand stitched sample because I could change the thickness of stitching and the colour and the actual stitch.
