Twelve Quilts of Christmas – #2
DECEMBER 5, 2013
Ka’ohu o Halemano (The Mists of Halemano),
Ella Victor, 20th century
Cotton, plain weave, applique
From the collection of the Honolulu Museum of Art
This fabulous example has a central radiating design that boasts eight arms this time. The dense design of this quilt is successfully achieved by balancing the respective sizes of the broad appliqué border and the smaller centre motif. The wave like quilting at the outside edge of the border lends real movement to this quilt. There is so much to study in this one!
Happy Stitching!
