Tradition with a Piece O' Cake Twist
We have always loved Amish quilts, but we love applique too! We began to wonder: What if the Amish had done more applique? What would it look like? Would these quilters have filled the open spaces with applique to balance the piecing? Would they have substituted applique for the piecing, preserving the open spaces in the quilt? We imagined that they might have done both as you'll see in the quilts in this book.
In addition to the 5 larger quilts in this book, there are 8 quilt fragments. We had an inspiration when we were working on this book. Imagine an old quilt that has been so well-loved that only a part of - a fragment - of it remains. These leftover bits may be only a fraction of the whole quilt, but the fragment of the design can quite interesting standing alone.
We used hand dyed fabric for the quilts in our book. Look for links (at left) that will take you Ricky Tims' site and to Cherrywood for hand dyed fabric. You can also use solids off the bolt.
