Blue Rose



My Barcelona quilt Blue Rose is inspired by Gaudí's Rose Window in the Sagrada Familía church:

The quilt is made using the reverse applique technique, with turquoise handdyed cotton sateen from Dyed and Gone to Heaven behind black cotton. It is machine quilted and has a facing finish.

Linda, your pefection of sewing makes this piece sing. It makes me hope you will go on and do the whole stained glass window!

The turquoise sateen is a real stand out behind the black. I too would love to see you do the whole window.

Lovely graphic piece. Great fabric choice. Loving how you and Marloes have used a different part of the same window.
