This quilt was pieced with a machine and hand quilted. The cotton was hand dyed by the artist.

This was hand quilted with thin Sashiko style thread.

I used the “no-waste” flying geese method which creates 4 flying geese at a time using one larger square and 4 smaller squares from contrasting fabric. This was fun to learn to do and showed me into the world of how quilters make really complex patterns from really accessible techniques. It was a confidence building exercise.

The binding is machine stitched on the front and hand tacked on the back to hide the stitches with mitered corners.

The back is constructed of a single whole cloth cotton.
