27. "Shedding New Light on an Old Block" Lisa Ellis Fairfax, Virginia |
| Cotton fabric, silk floss, crystals, buttons. Applique and machine pieced and quilted |
| I hunted for old blocks in the Jinny Beyer book titled The Quilter’s Album of Patchwork Patterns. The star block I chose is called the ‘Godey Design’ and dates back to 1858. To make the design my own, I used modern techniques to focus rays of light on the blocks, and then I embellished the quilt with silk floss and crystals. The star blocks are machine pieced and then appliquéd to the background. The cotton fabrics are entirely designed by Jinny Beyer. |
