AMETHYST GEODE Modern art wall quilt 23.5 by 24.5 inches

Designed, pieced and quilted by me, this wall quilt has a striking modern design in a moody palette of grays and purples.  The quilt uses a traditional quilt block called “Winding Ways,” creating circles that intersect and diverge.  The block is modernized and elevated with the use of irregular fabric placement and a contemporary palette in shades of gray and purple.

I used gray thread to stitch parallel lines along the length of the wall quilt, providing textural interest. The cotton batting and quilting lines give the wall hanging form and structure, allowing it to hang flat and square against the wall.

The back of the mini quilt has rod pockets sewn in all four corners, so you can hang on the wall in four different orientations. You will need a wooden dowel (round or flat slat) cut to the appropriate length. Simply tuck the ends of the dowel into the top corner pockets and hang on the wall by setting the dowel on small nails or pushpins. Mini quilt art measures approximately 23.5 by 24.5 inches. Fabrics and batting are premium 100% cotton.

After construction, the wall quilt was machine washed in cold, tumbled dry on low for 5 minutes, then removed from the dryer while partially damp and laid flat to air dry. If you continue this care, no further shrinkage will occur.
