Turkish Bazaar
(50 x 35 inches)
2004
Detail

Fourteen thrift-shop blouses sacrificed fabric for this quilt. I cut the fabrics into 2-1/2" squares, set them on point, and fused them to a burgundy background. I arranged them slightly apart from each other to give the illusion of sashing. For some reason, the fusible web was less than effective, and it was a challenge to do the extensive quilting to secure all the diamonds while they did their best to pop up off the quilt.
