Abstract Quilts – Part 2

Yesterday we looked at the first of the Abstract Quilt Category at the International Quilt Festival. Today, let’s see a few more!

“Rigamarole” by Claire Victor

This quilt is English-Paper-Pieced, double batted and free-motion quilted.

Have a look at the FMQ…..

“Under The Microscope” by Amy Clements

The small fabric scraps give so much texture to this quilt!!

“Cataract” by Ginnie Hebert

This wonderful piece was made from hours spent marbling fabrics. Doesn’t that sound fun!!

..

“Moroccan Magic” by Linda Steele

This quilt describes the sensory overload of Morocco, including doorways, winding pathways, and exotic markets. I want to go!!!

Look at the fun quilting…..

..

“Earth, Wind & Fire” by Janine Ward

This was the maker’s exploration of Improv design. She saw earth, wind and fire, but her family saw a busy city traffic roundabout!!

“Entropy” by Suzie Diver

“Drizzle” by Beth Schillig

This was inspired by rain trickling down an airplane window. She included cotton fabrics and sheer silk organza that were hand-dyed!!

Finally for today…..

“Wandering River” by Patricia Kerko

This quilt showed a mastery of free-motion couching and beading

Okay…that’s it for today.

Come back tomorrow for Part 3!!
