From Scraps

Scraps

It’s amazing what you can do with scraps and leftovers. This little quilt (approx 18×12) was put together from samples and scraps leftover from a surface design workshop I recently taught.

Included in this sample is

  • tyvek (green squares in middle)
  • color washed brown paper (prairie points and leaves)
  • paper fabric with some cheesecloth attached (main pink square)

The color washed brown paper was fused onto some peltex and cut to shape. Then I added some machine wrapped cording around the edge of the prairie points to define them against the background.

Since the paper fabric looked very organic, I quilted organic type lines that look like flowing water and pebbles.

The tyvek was also fused to some peltex and cut to shape. I then handstitched the edges to finish them off.

Everything was layered onto a machine quilted background and the end result is very three dimensional. I have yet to add a few more embellishments (it’s not finished till it’s embellished!) and then it will be done.

All in all - a cute little art quilt.
