Pattern:
Birch Street
Quilted
Reversible Vest
This side uses a striped denim that I tye-bleached, tye-dyed with a purple dye, and painted with black and purple fabric paints in a splotchy pattern. My 3 year old daughter and I finished the painting by adding teal and blue splotches here and there as accents. All of the detail doesn't show in the images, but you can see the tye-dye/bleach effect.
The final touch was to couch teal, blue, navy, and black yarns.
The second side is pieced in the style of
Yvonne Porcella's
book Magical Four-Patch and Nine-Patch Quilts. I used
Warm&Natural cotton batt and quilted this layer to the batt wit
no backing in sweeping arcs using a black metallic thread.
The closure uses snaps. I recommend the Snap-Setter brand.
