Shibori Patchwork Quilt

This unique square patchwork quilt is the result of an inspiring Shibori workshop I attended run by Rob Jones of Romor Designs. 

To create Shibori patterns the fabric is stitched or tightly tied to create resistance and then dyed in indigo.  Once the stitching or binding is removed the patterns are revealed.  Each block has been individually prepared and so each block is slightly different.

The quilt is made of 100% cotton with good quality wadding sandwiched in the middle.  The quilt is backed with Japanese Kasuri fabric in navy.  The quilt is machine washable on a gentle setting.  The quilt was made on a domestic sewing machine.  The quilting is in narrow vertical lines.

The lap quilt would also look striking as a wall hanging.

The quilt measures approximately 54" x 54" (or 137 cms x 137 cms).
