Machine-Quilting Details [13]
Angela McCorkle machine-quilted 1/4” inside the straight edges of each triangle unit and added curved diamonds in each cream batik 2-1/2” square. She quilted the blue batik squares with a feather motif and filled the vertical cream batik areas with feathered vines and dense stippling. In the open cream area at the bottom of the quilt, she stitches a row of stemmed flowers surrounded by a dense pebble pattern.
Machine-Quilting Details [15]
In the Falling Water color option, quilt tester Laura Boehnke utilized bright fabrics that feature floral and geometric prints in place of the batiks in the original. Laura chose nature-inspired fabrics that add bold pops of color. Fabrics are from Poetica from Art Gallery Fabrics [16].
