Sue's African fabric quilt

Today I am sharing a quilt made by Sue.  This was designed to use up her African fabric.  The quilt is a bit larger than lap size.  All the fabrics are of African women, pottery and scenes.  It turned out really nice with the accent colours to highlight the blocks.  The layout incorporates three different size blocks with different sashing colours and sizes, all set on point.


The border is a line up of African women in there attire and carrying stuff on their heads.  Quite a nice affect for the border.  If you enlarge the picture a bit, you can see up close the different fabrics used in the blocks and the marching women.


The quilting pattern used on this quilt was African Samba from Urban Elementz.  It adds a lovely texture to the quilt and mimics some of the symbols in the pottery.
