A customized and personalized variation of a classic quilt pattern
|
My Blue Heart
This quilt top is made entirely from oxford shirts and ties that were worn
by the client's dearly departed husband, celebrating his life. Down
through the ages, quilters have achieved differing designs by varying the
placement of the classic log cabin block. This traditional block was
manipulated to form a unique variation, resulting in a heart design made
from the soft blue shirts. The center of each block is made from the silk
ties. The lighter logs surrounding the blue heart seem to highlight it and
even make the quilt shine. An embroidered "Snoopy"on a pocket from
one of the shirts is incorporated into the outside border. On the opposite
side border, a cuff with the husband's monogram is included.
The quilting includes straight lines and stippling that accentuate the
heart design, and around the outside border the quilting incorporates
butterflies, a symbol of hope and eternal life.
This quilt is machine pieced and machine quilted on cotton batting. It
measures 63 X 52 inches.
