I’ve just put the finishing touches to two small quilts. They both feature my own pattern design, which I hand screen printed at college onto fabric offcuts using black textile ink. The first shows the patten, unadulterated, quilted using black cotton and free motion machine stitch round each of the circle motifs. The second is dyed with Adirondack Color Wash sprays (which despite my best efforts still covered everything nearby!), dried, heat set, rinsed, ironed and then quilted in the same way. Both are hand bound and labelled. I use backstitch to hand sew labels for my quilts as this is unlikely to wash off! They are both 22.5″x42″ in size.
Quilt No.5 – ‘Pattern No. 1’
Quilt No. 6 – ‘Rainbow’
Lovely!
Wow this is so pretty and creative!
OMGosh! What a beautiful piece! Love the color gradient and the pattern!
Both are just stunning!
At first I was drawn to the color, but then I realized how much the black design popped off the white background. It is interestest how the center stars kind of pop in and out as I look at it. You did a great job on these. Thanks for sharing them.
