75″x75″
This quilt was made by me from Northcott Stonehenge fabrics – pieced in the late 2010 and quilted in early 2011. It designed to mimic an Italian inlaid stone floor. It is custom quilted with a variety of motifs, many of which were done with straight and curved rulers. The quilting encompassed about 80 hours of time. I tried to select or create designs that come from Italian architecture (arches, clovers, etc). The outer border is striped with 1/4″ spaced striping, and there are sections of intricate feathering throughout the quilt, including the center medallion. I used Superior SoFine threads in a variety of matching colors. This quilt has a layer of Hobbs cotton/poly batting and a layer of Hobbs Tuscany wool on top of that. Double batting is a common practice for quilts that are to hang in shows. It helps to enhance the features of the quilting. Double click on any image for a better look. To date this quilt has received 7 ribbons, including a Best of Show at the Maine Quilt Show 2011. Refer to the list of quilt awards for all the other shows it has attended.
