Every quilt has a story behind it. And in the case of our first pattern, "A's Strips," there was a quilt behind the quilt. Those of you who have a copy of the pattern know from the "History of A's Strips" that the pattern was based on a quilt Opal made as a gift. I loved the vertical lines and random feel and rich interplay of color and pattern that I wanted to standardize the elements into something repeatable... and so I did.
We showed you the quilt I designed (with bird transfers used as the spliced elements), and we showed you photos of two other versions of the quilt made during testing.
I though you might enjoy seeing the quilt upon which it was based. (You really are only seeing a portion of it here.) This quilt doesn't match up exactly to "A's Strips." Instead, it's the touchstone upon which the pattern was based.
This one... a one-of-a-kind.
Amy and Opal are two artists living in different states on the west
coast who have teamed up to create fiber art together. Their journey
and process is captured here.
