‘Celebration’

This quilt was designed as a tribute to the Australian Artist and printmaker John Hall Thorpe, who specialised in floral designs. I have machine appliqued flowers onto chintz, used printmaking strips, and floral prints and weaves of various weights, textures and styles. The construction is machine overlocked edges and strip piecing them in ‘quilt as you go’ method.
