Bull Kelp Lap Quilt

$1,500.00

“Bull Kelp Quilt” was inspired by the movie “My Octopus Teacher”. Watching the forest of bull kelp floating to the surface of the water, from an angle I’ve never experienced, was mesmerizing.

The quilt lends itself to either being used as a lap quilt or a wall hanging because of its size. I used a hemp and organic cotton blend fabric in its natural color for the background, so that the bull kelp would be highlighted. The appliques are cut from an organic cotton voile which is soft and somewhat opaque and used organic cotton batting between the layers. All the work is original, and hand sewn, with the background being inspired by the Hawaiian quilting method of echo quilting.

If you are interested in making a quilt inspired by any of my designs for your own personal use, feel free to contact me for more information on the design, fabrics, or techniques.  Hand quilting is a traditional method of stitching that gives an amazing texture to your quilt. If there is anything I can share with you, I would be happy to assist you in making this magic!  However, this is my quilt design, and you need my written permission to use my design for mass production or commercial sale.
