How Did She Make This Quilt? - "Autumn Evening" by Barbara Oliver Hartman

"Autumn Evening" (54"x41") by Barbara Oliver Hartman won 2nd Place Small Wall Quilts Pictorial at AQS QuiltWeek Paducah 2017. The quilt is quite striking, but we spent most of our time trying to figure out how it was made. Do you have any ideas?

Did you use a spray adhesive to adhere the snippets to before quilting. If so, what adhesive do you recommend?

Texture makes me think she used temporary spray glue to sprinkle confetti cuts... stitch down and gently washed out spray glue for more confetti texture!

Alex, she learned from Denise Oyama Miller & Nancy Ryan how to do this technique. You should come take a class at The Patch to learn about it! It's pretty kool technique

thank you for all the kind words and great pictures of my quilt.
This quilt was made from small pieces fabrics left over from previous projects and then sorted by color and then cut with rotary cutter and scissors into very small pieces. It is then sewed to a background using a free motion zig zag stitch. No netting or fusing is involved. The process is very time consuming but addicting.
The first piece I made this was was in 1992 and was in the 1993 Quilt National exhibit.
