| Prism Stardust |
This is my personal design that I have been working on for about a
year. The quilt is based off of the design sketch pictured below. It is entirely pieced
and hand quilted. It is 90" x 90". There are over a 1000 pieces and some are as small as
a fingernail. The border is made of scraps from the piecing and the
black braid is an entire skein of yarn braided in an 8 strand crocodile
ridge. My daughter Trinity was the detangler while I braided. It took us 3 days and 206 verses of "This old man he played knick knack paddy wack", but we got it done! All the fabric is clothing from our local thrift store. I worked with everything from Packer t-shirts to polyester skirts. This is the first time I quilted the top instead of tying it. It was also the first time I had the colors picked out before we went shopping. It was fun matching the clothes to the colors on the template sketch. I made this particular piece for display, but it can be used as a full size light bed quilt. I worked on this from March 2012 until early April 2013.

Prism Stardust original sketch |
This is my original design that inspired the Prism Stardust quilt. I had to do some modifications so that I could completely piece the quilt. I sketched this around 1992.
