What do you call a quilt made from dance costumes? A fringe movement! My client sent me 24 costumes that belonged to her now-27-year-old daughter. I used 20 of them to create this quilt blanket.
Each block was underlined in a cotton fabric to add stability. the framing fabric is a black cotton with a grey swirl, which reflects the idea of motion. The backing is a fabulously soft minky cuddle hide.
My client wanted to preserve as many details as possible. So I tried to show the shape of the bodice or the lace covering and kept the fringe free so it could dangle.
In all, quite a labor of love, but a fun result!
Im looking for a pattern to make this for my daughter. I love tp quilt so would like to make this myself. Wondering if you could help.
