Details -

Several techniques were used to hand paint the 100% cotton fabrics that make up the quilt top. The fabric colors are multi-mottled on the teal area and a flour paste resist was used for the yellow/green and black fabric. After layering the quilt top with the backing and batting fabrics the piece was heavily free-motion quilted. The edges were burned and sealed with gel medium, giving the piece a more organic look.

The quilt was adhered to a board that was built to set off the wall approximately 3/4”; the back slats are felt covered to protect the wall and it is wired for hanging. Holes were marked and drilled through the quilt and backboard.

The photograph (8” x 10”) was applied to an acrylic sheet (12” x 14” x 1/4” thick), holes were drilled, spacers and other hardware attached and then the photograph was mounted 3/4” above the art quilt. The back is signed.

I recommend the piece be displayed away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.
