Hopi Indian Themed Quilt
5 Attachment(s)
I did this quilt for a friend of my daughters who did her Masters thesis on the Hopi. It is a little different than most I see - thought you might enjoy it. I found the pattern in a library book published in the early 90's. It is all straight line quilting with neutral thread except on the black area. On that I used green thread as suggested in the book based on traditional colors the Hopi use in their blankets and basketry. The back is just cuz I thought it was fun - instead of plain white or cream. The colors in the quilt are cream and black with the center of the black diamonds white and red. The pattern called for a knife edge binding but I prefer a pieced double fold so i did the binding in black with a little pop of red on each of the four sides -
