This quilt is a variation of the traditional Courthouse Steps pattern. The quilt is made with Essex cotton/linen blend fabric that has been hand dyed in studio with cutch (to produ ce the dark clay and pink shades), walnut ( greys and tans) and osage orange + indigo (teals). The quilt is approx 54” x 65” in size. The front and back were machine pieced, meaning the patchwork is machine sewn. The quilting, meaning the stitches running throughout, is done by hand with cutch dyed cotton sashiko thread. Hand quilting is a very laborious and time consuming process but the impact of the hand stitches cannot be mimicked with a machine. The binding is a mix of fabrics and is sewn by hand. Show more
