A few months ago I was asked to contribute a project for a special exhibit featuring 60 mini quilts each celebrating the Robert Kaufman Kona Color of the Year: Highlight. My instructions were to make a quilt measuring 20 inches x 20 inches "using whatever technique you want and to make the most you quilt you can" so as to celebrate the Kona Color of the Year with the limited color palette supplied (not all contributors were given the same color palette). I think my mini quilt fits the brief.
The exhibit of mini quilts was showcased for the first time last weekend at Quilt Market in Houston, will also be on show at Quilt Festival, and will then go on to travel to several more quilt shows in the US.
This mini quilt is made from 400+ hexagons (5/8" sides) and represents several hours cutting hexagons and glue basting, and many more hours of happy slow sewing!
Thank you for stopping by,
Rita

So unexpected. Wish I could run down to Houston to see the entire exhibit. I hope it will be published somewhere. Good job, Rita.

ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! (I think we are in the same palette group. ;) )
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! If it comes to the Road to California quilt show in January, I will get photos of it on display for you.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! I see a spider web but I imagine it is because today is October 31st. Tomorrow I will likely see my grandmothers braided rug and before too many weeks, a star...... Thanks for the inspiration as always.
ReplyDeleteOH MY. Wowie. Rita, this is beautiful. Really delicate sweet design
