Mola
I have dug up a bit more colour from under the black top.

The more you add the more interesting it is, I am loving the progress of your piece.
It gets richer and more exotic with each passing week!
Hi Queenie, I have missed some of your blogs as I have been busy. I see that a new embroidery has been started, it is a lovely idea to follow the old traditions. The mola art is beautiful, it is nice to see something different
This is fantastic! I like it more everytime I see it.
I just love seeing your updates on this one. The colors are all fabulous! Beautiful progress.
Lovely work.
I didn't think you could dig up any more colour from this but it keeps appearing!
Lovely balancing act of colour and shapes. The mola gets better and better.
Thank you. It is nearing its end.
Well, I am beginning to like it now that there is more colour....
I have missed YOU, and your blog postings. Any Christmas knitting on the go?
Molas are beautiful, but oh, so difficult to make!
I agree, it gets better the more colour is added, but I still don't like this technique much!
Thank you. With black as the top layer you need colourful opening or the piece would be so dull.
Thanks!
Just insert a number of colored scraps and you can dig up colourful things!
I also think it is improving with time, but I still don't like working on this kind of 'quilting'.
Very good progress on this mola quilt work.growing colourful and beautiful every week. I am getting inspired and want to try this some time.
Your Mola is looking beautiful, each addition makes it look even prettier!

IF you do, make sure the fabric does not fray easily!
Thank you. I agree that the more colour that is added the better it looks.
Looks very artistic, but not my cup of tea. How are you planning to finish it?
It's not my cup of tea either, but I am glad I tried this technique.
It was supposed to be made into a bag, but I might make a cushion of it instead.
My mola has completely ground to a halt with so much else going on. Of course it didn't help to have to tidy up for guests and move all my colored fabric back to the dark cold upstairs.
I feel tempted to let my Mola grind to a halt, too.
Although I still don't like it, it is looking a bit better the more colour I add.
