My Selvage Siblings quilt will be in Houston for the International Quilt Festival! I challenged myself to use only Kaffe Fassett Collective fabrics and selvages in this quilt and want to thank everyone from Prairie Quilt Guild in Wichita who donated KFC selvages. This past June, Selvage Siblings won a blue ribbon in its class at our local guild quilt show, Common Threads Regional Quilt Show.
The Sunflower Sue and Overall Bill figures are a Marti Michell pattern but the layout is my original design. I added hand embroidery in the background to add texture and interest. The quilt is machine stitched in a ditch and quilted on the selvage border and is also hand big stitch quilted.
I'd never made a Sunflower Sue quilt but this was a lot of fun! Well, maybe binding that serpentine shaped border wasn't so much fun but I sure like it.
Until next week, Mayleen
