The inspiration for this quilt is a magnificent dolmen, Kilcooney Dolmen is located near a small village of Ardara, County Donegal, Ireland. The fabrics are mostly my hand-painted cottons, hand painted silk organza, and couched yarns and trims. I typically paint mostly fat quarters, then each stone cut and appliquéd. There is strip piecing, and turned edge appliqué, and free motion quilting. The edges are faced.
