Today is the last reveal for Four-In-Art. Last in all the ways. Last in the year and last in the five year adventure that I've been pleased and lucky to have been a part of.
I plan on some retrospective posts on the previous years and quilts, but today is all about
Illumination
My mind immediately went in two directions when I saw the challenge for this quarter. The first was the way the sky was illuminated just after sunset, almost like a reverse rainbow. And I could have done that and probably been pretty happy with it. But what I really wanted to do was make an illuminated letter. Medieval style.
Enter the William Morris R
I searched online for an illuminated R that I liked that was copy right free. I came across the image below.
The quilt itself is reverse applique, and to describe all the time and the technique I will devote a maker post to this quilt in the next couple of days.
The gold is a lame, the rest are quilting cottons. The black is a batik. The whole thing is quilted with Superior's invisible poly on top and black Aurifil on the bottom.
Finished size: 14"x 15"
