Blue Bar quilt

Approximately 35 x 43 inches This quilt is an exploration of a new idea for me! I used a whole cloth appliqué technique to break out of the rigidity of the square shape and create more organic shapes. The composition reminds me of sand bars in the ocean, so I named it Blue Bar. Cut from a mix 100% natural fabrics including Japanese cotton, cotton linen blend, and European linen. The filling is 100% cotton with no artificial binders or fillers. The backing is a blue vintage fabric.  The quilt was made from start to finish in my Los Angeles, CA studio. I cut and assemble all the pieces, hand stitch the quilt together with high quality cotton sashiko thread, and finish the edges with a durable double fold bias binding. Finally the quilt is washed for extra softness. This size is perfect for use as a baby blanket, to provide cushion for tummy time, or as a comfort object (the texture is just that satisfying to the touch!). Meant to grow with your child (or you!), this piece is ready to hang on the wall as baby's first piece of textile art. Machine wash cold, tumble dry low or line dry. Care: Machine wash cold, tumble dry low or hang to dry.
