The little quilt of Japanese fabric stitched up quickly. Above is one side...and below is the other.
The little patch with the turtle was made in a katazome workshop at Maiwa about 10 years ago. It sat quietly in the stash, waiting for its chance - and I think it is happy in its new spot. (I think the colour is off on this one - it looks a little too cyan.) I really like the way the hand quilting shows up. The whole piece measures about 30"x44". I had one inch of binding left over, whew!
And finally, here's a shot of
that quilt I made a couple of months back, this time with no dog on it. The colour is a little wacky on this one too, but the block on the far left of the second row from the bottom looks about right.
the little quilt is very special,the turtle is perfect.
ReplyDeleteI think the turtle is perfect too, especially since it is one of the traditional signs of long life, which sounds right for a quilt that is also a security blanket in a disaster backpack. Can't wait to see the entire piece in the exhibit! Jean-Pierre
ReplyDeleteWow! And only an inch of binding left. For me that would have been an inch too short! Especially love the turtle.
