Gameplay – A Finished Quilt

The idea behind this project was to use a Log Cabin style construction to surround and showcase circles in the centre of the design. L’idée derrière ce projet était d’utiliser une construction de style Log Cabin pour entourer et mettre en valeur des cercles au centre du design. I had also planned a mix of hand and machine quilting, with a focus on hand stitches. But my quilting design evolved in the process and called for a lighter proportion of hand quilting.

Fragment II – A Finished Quilt

I made this quilt in response to the Quiltcon Fabric Challenge for 2025. You may recognize the design as I initially designed it for Ego & Artifex, another challenge I took part in recently.

Vous reconnaitrez peut-être le design car je l’avais dessiné initialement pour Ego & Artifex, un autre challenge auquel j’ai participé récemment.
