Quilting: Wisteria wall
2 kudoz

Wisteria wall

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Classic, Funky, Casual


What was your inspiration?

I collected all the fabrics in this quilt's background while travelling through the east coast of USA not knowing that they would become a brick wall. I made the brick wall thinking to put graffiti on it, something wild and urban, but I saw my wisteria flowering on my verandah and wisteria wall it became. Sometimes i think quilts make themselves! All the fabrics are 100% cotton, raw edged appliqued on my machine (for the first time!), various threads and the wadding is a thin iron on type I wanted to try.

What are you most proud of?

For a first try at raw edge applique using free motion it came out well

Thanks everyone. My husband hung it up at the end of the hall yesterday. All of you should just have a go, its fun and mistakes are hidden in the chaos of design. Copy this one if you want

Lovely, at first look I thought it was a hooked rug. Love the addition of the butterflies. Excellent job.

So unusual, and I think your wisteria is lovely (much nicer than graffitti would have been!). Full marks for inventiveness!
