This quiltlet is for Contemporary Quilt's "suitcase collection" which will travel round for three years. The quilts in it are A3-sized (11"x16"), and the theme is "Figure it out".The silk background was quilted first in a thorny pattern, then the leaves and those blue things were applied. The blue things are the "figure it out" component - some surreal rose hips, done with handstitch and machine embroidery on watersoluble fabric. When I took them along to while away the time on a train journey to a CQ meeting in Birmingham last autumn, I had no idea they'd end up actually being used in something. So much is made just for the hell of it, or to see what will happen if....
