The woven blocks were made with narrrow strips of fabric sewn into tubes and then turned right side out and woventogether and a couple blocks were twisted together. There is a dark purple cording on each side of the inner border. I made the cording from another batik. I used 5 strands of crocet thread inside the cording. I am a former bridal seamstress so some of the techniques are bridal and some are quilting and some I just made up as I went along. It was quite a chalenge to make this quilt. It took a long time, too.
There are two blocks that were just tucks that were stitched going different directions and an embroidery stitch was sewn on top of the stitching line. I just made up some things as I sewed.
Thank you for all the compliments.
