Ever put together something just to try a new technique? I've been seeing art quilts that have had sections or even all the quilt woven with fabric and trims---I had to give it a try. This mini quilt, which I call Dream Weaver #1, is the first in a series of weaved quilts I hope to complete for AAQI. I used vintage lace and fabric with some hand quilting, ribbon, and beads. Then I thought, what about incorporating weaving within a quilt, but not make it the entire quilt. In keeping with my love of vintage quilt blocks, I selected a bright blue and white Windmill Block pattern, and cut it into various size strips. I thought the contrast of blue jean fabric would make the block pop.
When I started weaving the first thing I noticed is that you could see the block pattern returned. I loved the look.
