This quilt was made for a challenge competition. The challenge was to make a non rectangular quilt under one metre square incorporating the mystery fabric.

The challenge fabric was a large scale oriental style print with cranes and chrysanthemums. I've used in on the main vase and on the pattern bands on the bowls and plate. I combined it with hand dyed fabrics. The shadows were done by over painting the printed fabric with washes of fabric paint.

I used a freezer paper appliqué technique, machine stitched with nylon thread. The quilting was also machined stitched.
