Purple wants to reign supreme, but orange and purple struggle for power.

I cut all the lines and shapes freehand and machine pieced them, building one large quarter log cabin block, as purple and orange battle it out, trying to outdo each other.

I used many different purple and orange fabrics of different values and hues, and both glowing and flat to add a lot of depth and movement.

After hand cutting pieces of solid colored fabric, designing the composition, and sewing the pieces together I layered the quilt top with cotton batting and stitched many closely-spaced lines through the layers to add texture. This is called matchstick quilting.

I finished it with a sewn facing giving the quilt frameless straight edges. On the back of the quilt I sewed a fabric sleeve which holds a wooden slat (Included). The slat has a small eyebolt at each end so you can hang the quilt on the wall with two nails. The slat is slightly narrower than the quilt so the slat and nails won’t be visible when the quilt is hung on the wall.
