Wax and Wane


This wall piece is not actually a quilt in the conventional sense. There is no layer of batting between the front and back. Instead there is a very thin layer of netting on the surface which holds the moons in place. All layers are held together with a simple zigzag stitch. This manner of making a 'quilt' is much faster, however it would not keep you warm. The photo shows only part of the quilt.

I love the background material, a very light weight batik probably from Africa. If anyone knows where I might purchase more please let me know.
