Sue's Underwater Ocean Quilt

 

Sue's Underwater Ocean Quilt

Sue has made this underwater themed quilt for a special friend, using a background similar to Northcott Stonehenge fabric and then appliqueing shapes from another underwater themed fabric to create her own original quilt.  In addition to the applique, Sue created stencils to to add her own seaside motifs to the border.

Having done a lot of textile art in the past, it was lovely to see all these techniques in one quilt - you could really see that Sue has enjoyed making it. There was a lot to bring together with the quilting, but we found a suitable flowing quilting pattern called 'Coquina' by Patricia Ritter and used a Fil-Tec Glide Thread called Sea Green to bring the colours out from the centre.

The quilting pattern came out beautifully on the back of the quilt too.
