Quiltmaking: Week 2: 17/03 - 21/03 (1)

New Techniques:

After viewing Quiltmaking archive material I have discovered the surprising different uses of quiltmaking. I have realised how open this project is, and how I can produce a successful outcome relating to Fairgrounds.

The main influence came from the visit to 'Blackpool Pleasure Beach' from this I took the landscape views of rollercoasters and created patterns, that could be used as a quilting stitch. 




Wadded Quilting: 
This gives an all-over raised effect and is worked through three layers; the front, the padding - which varies according to how raised an effect is required, and the backing. 


Most effective when using a fine cotton thread onto same colour background.

From this sample I would like to explore the different types of wadding and the effect which it produces and the vaious front layers. I will also mix machine and hand stitch.
