This wall hanging quilt is pieced from rags left over from children’s tie-dye projects.  As a docent at Terrace Park Elementary School , I designed and supervised a project where the children dyed T-shirts. Layers of white muslin were placed on the table to catch the drips. These pieces of fabric displayed bright and accidental colors, which I have exploited in this quilt. The squares and triangles that make up this quilt range in size from 2 to 8 inches. The variegated stitching offers a differing contrast as the eye moves across the piece. The fabric pieces are relatively large, and the geometric design simple to display the accidental dye effects to maximum advantage. The block design is a traditional American quilt pattern. This quilt has cotton batting inside with a green cotton backing. The binding is machine and hand stitched and a hanging sleeve is included.
