Have you ever wondered about the stories behind the fabrics in an old quilt?
I love the idea of scraps from dresses, shirts, and other sewing projects finding their way into something new. Fabrics that once had another purpose, brought together into a quilt, each carrying a little history of its own.
That was part of the inspiration for my Indigo Shibori Crazy Quilt, my entry in Spoonflower’s Patchwork Revival Design Challenge.
I brought together patterns from my own Shibori collection, arranging different shades of indigo into irregular patches and adding hand-drawn decorative stitching inspired by antique crazy quilts.
I love how these old traditions can inspire something entirely new. 💙
Voting is open through October 20! You’ll find the challenge voting page linked in my bio. If you’d like to support my entry, look for my Indigo Shibori Crazy Quilt by Drawn to Create.
Do you have an old family quilt with a story behind it? I’d love to hear it!
