Topic: December Border (1/2) - The Quilt Show Forum

Welcome, Guest

Join us on a TQS exclusive 12-month historic journey recreating the historic Rajah Quilt, sewn by women convicts on board the ship Rajah traveling from England on April 1841 to the penal colony of Van Diemen's Land-now known as Tasmania. The original quilt measured at approximately 128" x 128", but Lessa recreated it in quarter scale with fabrics from her stash. She used many different scraps, imagining that's what might have happened when the original quilt was being made. She followed the colors of the original quilt loosely, and tea dyed fabrics that didn't look old enough. You can obtain the same look with reproduction fabrics, or make a more contemporary-looking version like the one created for TQS.

MargaretWil OFFLINE Posts: 19 Thank you received: 3	I have my top all pieced and together! only a few days into the new year I have decided that after all this work it should be a bit larger so I can use it on my bed so I intend to do another 'diamond in a square' border and another printed fabric border to bring it up to a Queen bed size.
