Description:
A rectangular quilt that can fit on a small bed or perfect for a couch throw. Large carpenter star pattern. This quilt has a medium blue background with many different fabrics in the patchwork. This would be considered scrappy since there is such a variety of fabric. There's a top and bottom border that has fabrics sewn together like piano keys. The quilting design is somewhat whimsical with loop-d-loops that go over the entire quilt.
Dimensions:
50" x 62"
Artist Statement:
This quilt was made as part of an "ugly" fabric challenge. Each participant swapped ugly fabric and needed to include it into a quilt top. What is "ugly"? Maybe you just think it's beautiful in a different way. The star points on the 4 outer stars are made from the "ugly" fabric. That fabric resembles a crazy quilt from days gone by. Some of those pieces contain poems, quotes and verses from the Bible (they're not overwhelming or very obvious). Many of the other fabrics used contain fun themes like outdoor wildlife, boats, cars, BBQ and even beer bottles (again, not overwhelming). The maker jokingly nicknamed this quilt, "Bible Verses and Beer Bottles."
