Quilting - original designs

Dupioni Silk, summer carnival silk collection

Three panels of the "cheater panel" were used cut into a variety of sizes. A selection of coordinating fabrics were then auditioned and added as the design grew. Left over fabric was used to create an interesting binding and backing. The finished size of the quilt is approx 67 X 85"   We used 3 of the preprinted panels and 1/2 meter each of 6 coordinating fabrics. The binding was made from the left over pieces.

 We have just received a large selection of dupioni silks in a range of rich intense colors. The first sample, shows   what we did with the silk collection named Summer Carnival.  For this quilt, Wendy used 11 of these jewel toned fat 1/4s for the quilt. The quilt could be sightly larger if all 13 fat  1/4's from the collection were used.  Random shapes were cut and assembled into a pleasing design.  Quilting followed the geometric lines created by the shapes of the blocks.The finished measurements of this quilt are appoximately 56" X 48"
