Image of "Propagation" quilt by Patti Bleifuss

 
 

Artist Statement: I love the texture that quilting gives to whole-cloth quilts. I use free-motion quilting to create a more organic surface and then discharge the fabric to reveal the quilting lines and the texture of the cloth. Exposed batting provides the geometric structure of the quilt.

Materials & Techniques: Commercial felt, cotton batting, cotton cloth. Quilted, dyed, discharged..

Dimensions: 34"W x 46"H
