A Scrapbook Style Quilt

Kathryn, one of the regular students at Utopia, is making a coming-of-age quilt for her good friend's daughter, Teagan.

Starting with photographs of Teagan featuring her as a babe in arms right up until now, we scanned them and then printed them onto specialty printer fabric.

Kathryn began to frame them ready for a scrapbook style quilt, using various coloured fabrics picked from the colours in the pictures.

She chose a wonderful bright batik fabric with purple ferns on an orangey-red background and a matching spotted fabric for the main quilt fabrics.

Scrapbook journal

In scrapbooking, you add some journalling which tells the story of the pictures on the page, so Kathryn wrote a journal which I printed for her onto fabric.
