True Blue wall hanging quilt

“True Blue” is another wall-hanging size quilt designed by Kat of KoolKat that will be featured in her quilt exhibition as part of the Quilts, Stitches and Textiles Trail during Carnival of Flowers week this month.  The quilt features the thread painting technique and was constructed as 9 separate mini-quilts before joining together as one piece.

Many different thread colours were used in free motion quilting to give a great effect of depth, light and shade.
