Kathleen made this beautiful quilt for her husband. The brilliantly hued prints are reminiscent of van Gogh's paintings.
A piece like this, at least for me, is difficult to quilt in that it must be simply, but adequately quilted. Every strait seam was SID. The prints were all cross hatched using a neutral shade of sew fine thread. The beautiful print border was also crossed hatched. Anything more would compete with the fabric. I don't want to compete with Mr. van Gogh. I'm afraid I'd lose.
