Blue Quilt

The Blue Quilt

The blocks in this quilt were dyed using a Japanese technique called Shibori. My granddaughter, Hannah, tried the process under the direction of her aunt who is an art teacher. We were preparing the quilt to be auctioned for Hannah's trip to Spain but I did not finish it in time. Now Hannah, Aunt Jaime, and Grammy want the quilt. I may be making more like this.

The quilting stressed me and after ripping out three rows of quilting, I chose to quilt with a blue thread and quilt a meander.
