Autumnal quilt
October 25, 2009
This is a quilt I like to have around when Fall comes. The walls of my home change as the seasons come and pass. I find that the shades of this particular quilt blend in well with the colours of my surroundings: yellow, ochre, brown, green, rust. It seems to capture all the rays of a sun that has lost its Summer warmth.
It is sewed mostly with precious leftovers from other quilts. French and English ancient fabrics, various silks and a pastoral scene on linen in golden tones.
The touch of these different materials is both soft and raw under your hands. The hand quilting adds a kind of uneven texture on materials that would normally be softer. Harmony in differences. I like it for the light it brings into the house and for the movement created by the various textures.
Wow, love the fabric in this quilt. Can see why you like it so much.
Beautiful Autumn colors! It exudes much warmth and
coziness. I like that!
I like your idea about changing the walls, I´m doing the same. The quilt is lovely with its golden colors, how nice that you have a golden autumn quilt ready, when the light decrease.
I love your precious quilt alive with colour and texture : – )
