Quiltmaking: Week 3: 24/03 - 28/03 (1)

Crazy Patchwork:
A method that uses random shaped patches of material. These are applied to a backing cloth, mainly calico, and lines of embroidery are stitched over the joins between the patches.

 Pfaff Machine:

Computerised Machine, mainly used for Quilting to stitch patterned lines.

Overall I found the Crazy Patchwork the most successful sample that I have produced so far, as it enables me to include typical Fariground shapes and it allows me to easily find an effective colour scheme by collating patterned materials. The thread colours can also be changed between patches to help realize a definate scheme.

Kantha Embroidery:
Originated in Bangladesh, made from old garments pieced together to make a new cloth. Traditional uses;
-Bayton
-Lep
-Oar
-Durjani
-Arsilata
-Sujni
-Rumal



From all these techniques I would like to develop my colour scheme because what I currently have isn't reflective enough of the Fairground. I will also research more artists to influence this.
