KATJA’S FISH TANK

12” x 17”

2005

 

This little quilt was a test to see how silk looked when used for fusible appliqué.
My daughter Katja provided a drawing which I used as my pattern, down to the shape of the completed wall hanging, and helped shop for the fabrics. The background is hand dyed cotton and the solid fish are dupioni or raw silk. The striped fish is a taffeta dress fabric of some sort. Batting is polyester. Techniques used are fusible appliqué, couching and machine quilting.
