Hello friends, long time no see! Yeah no excuses I was just done with the crafting world for a while... can’t promise to be back regularly but will post what I make when I make it! I started quilting in the past couple of years and love it. Recently I started doing art quilts.
I posted a picture of a quilt I did on Instagram and Facebook a couple of months ago and a friend saw it and asked if I could make her a quilt for her art cottage in Ireland!! We discussed what she wanted and came up with a plan and this is the result. It’s based off of Dolly Parton’ s song Coat of Many Colors and I love how it turned out!!
This is the color inspiration photo she sent me.
I used Batik fabric for the coat centerpiece with some grunge fabric as the background.
This is the backing, I thought of using it as soon as I saw the inspiration photo, because it reminded me of the water!
I then used some of the other fabrics I used on the front to make an after quilt, which is just a pieced backing!!
I free motioned quilted it using a pattern I call river ripples. I love this and know my friend Laurie will as well!! Maybe one day I can go visit it in Ireland!!
