weighted textured quilt
2 Attachment(s)
Finally finished this 7 lb. weighted and textured quilt for my grandson who has high functioning autism. He just sometimes wants a little extra comfort for life's stresses.
He visited for a few days and learned to piece several of the blocks that we used in the quilt. We designed it together and I finished it after he had to leave.
There are lots of fabrics including denim, corduroy, flannel, upholstery, fur and knits, as well as added embroidery, beads, ragging, etc. for more textures. There is fleece across the top for soft texture when sleeping.
Micah chose the sashings to start in dark brown thru light brown to light green to dark green. There were 25 fabrics he selected. It was my job to make these work out for the sashings. I think we made a great team!
Micah cut and sewed the denim, batik and flannel blocks. He started with wanting me to stay right there and soon reached the, I'll call you if I need help, stage. :)
The iris block is cut from the back of a large stitch knit vest. The black block is satin, the red and brown are fake fur stuff. The larger white block is from a finely knit sweater.
