| Chris's final assessment piece was an ambitious design for a bed quilt for a young child. Featuring a combination of patchwork techniques including folding and foundation piecing, the whole quilt was hand quilted. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Details of the quilt. Careful selection of thread colour and dense directional quilting helped to add movement to the design. |
