09. "16 Cowrie Shells" Marjorie Diggs Freeman Durham, North Carolina |
| 16 assorted fabrics: pure silk (plain and embroidered), African prints, taffeta, cotton, satin, rayon, cowrie shells, cotton batting. Machine piecing and decorative stitching, hand applique, quilting & stitching. |
| I chose to emphasize AAQ’s 16th anniversary when creating my traditional crazy quilt by putting exactly 16 cowrie shells on it, some real and some on African fabrics. Upon completion of the quilt, I was amazed to find that I had also used 16 different fabrics and 16 different decorative stitches, with hand quilting counting as one. A puzzle and a problem solver, I challenge you to find the 16 in each category! |
