The Tiger quilt is a small quilt. It’s only 18″x18″.
You might recognise the tiger from The Doom Girl print I designed.
The quilt is unusual for a few reasons. First, I didn’t have any design planned for this quilt. I just figured it out as a went. Second, even though I knew what the tiger should look like, I just randomly cut out shapes to create the tiger. Look closely at the Tiger. He is in sections. The sections are oddly shaped. Third, the fabric that the tiger is appliqued onto has a crooked grain. This was okay for a little area around the tiger, but I didn’t want it for the whole background. So I cut out the tiger with a wide border, then appliqued the whole thing to another piece background fabric. Fourth, The line created by the tiger panel being applique onto the new background fabric gave me the idea to put a little pennant banner surrounding the whole tiger.
Here is the whole quilt. I like the loose design, the funky tiger, the texture of the border area and that it is small and was easy to work on.
Rawr! Love that tiger!
I love the tiger’s expression!
Oh, I LOVE the tiger quilt! Very nice and folky!
That is fantastic (says the huge tiger nerd)! I really like the shape of the guy- it has a ton of character.
Wow, I just love your quilts. I’m just finishing my second quilt ever & its really made me appreciate what you do.
