Pixel Paradise

A 20" × 20" quilt created for the tsi_dq fabric challenge. 

The theme given was - Bird of Paradise.

I created a quilt of 400 inchies with the English paper piecing technique.

Then backed and bound it because the challenge rules required the quilt to have a backing and had to be bound.

Then I made 400 Suffolk puffs and created a second layer.

A quilt experiment I made up as I went along.

Sketches of the ideas and the placement of colours. Wothout these I would have gone mad.

The quilt is entirely hand sewn.

A quilt experiment - Bird of Paradise

I'm experimenting with creating a hand pieced layer of inchies which will support a layer of Suffolk puffs. 

A contemporary quilt inspired by Bird of Paradise.

The 20" × 20" layer of inchies are done and now I've begun making the Suffolk puffs. 400 to be made.
