Peter pieced this stunning Asian Wall Hanging. I feel privileged that he chose Three Bears to quilt it. His eye for color and design is simply brilliant. The main quilting design is a suttle clamshell in the sashiko tradition.
The fabric prints as well as the small inner border were defined by some careful SID. A simple crosshatch provided the right amount of contrast on the birds.
The clamshell design was expanded and incorporated into the border:
Lastly, Peter had pieced a design into the backing. It was crucial that the centering was spot on. And it was.
What an eye-catching quilt! I'm inspired by the use of disappearing nine-patch on an angle with dramatic color changes. I love the quilting. The leaves in the border (ginkgo?) are perfect with clamshells!
