It's time for the Blogger's Quilt Festival again!
My entry is this original design wholecloth quilt inspired by antique lace and Regency stonework.
It is free-motion machine quilted using viscose embroidery thread. I used a combination of pearl white and french grey coloured threads to create an aged look here.
Trapunto is used for the "carved" elements:))
I am very pleased with how the backing has turned out - the silver thread makes it sparkle in the sunlight.
The quilt measures 22x23" or 57x58 cm. I used pure cotton fabrics and Heirloom 80/20 wadding.
I thought that this quilt would look wonderful in a classical style interior, or against a piece of painted french style furniture.
Thank you for taking interest in my work!
That looks so amazing!
