Size - 79” x 85” An original pinwheel pattern was used for this quilt. It has cotton-linen blend fabric that has been hand dyed with plant-based dyes. The earthy pinks and terracot tas are from cutch, the yellows from pomegranate, the tans from walnut. There are also accents of walnut and indigo shibori. The back of the quilt is an improvised mix of the same fabrics used on the front. 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 made with cutch dyed fabric and is also sewn by hand. Show more
