111cm x 111cm

“A light weight lap quilt, a soft throw over an old chair, or a graphic wall-hanging to cosy up a bare wall, this hand-quilted patchwork piece can fit into your home and family in lots of different ways” - Lisa


Materials

• Various light- and medium-weight woven cottons; including pieces recovered from duvet covers, leftovers from pandemic mask-making, and and some new cotton of the same weight to complete (new, recycled, natural)

• Batting (the soft insulating layer) is 100% cotton (new, natural)

• Cotton threads for sewing & quilting (new, natural)

Techniques

• Patchwork - the cutting and piecing of various fabrics and/or colours to create a pattern or image, mostly using scraps and offcuts.

• Hand-quilting - using a needle and thread to sew through all three layers of a quilt, in lines or motifs

• Hand-stitched binding - using a needle and thread to finish the binding around the edges by hand

• Designed, cut, and sewn in Dublin

Use & Care

• The Geometric Dusk Lap Quilt is machine washable, recommended at 30 degrees and max spin 800 (wool/delicates). Hang to air dry.

• Hang Geometric Dusk by inserting a dowel or bamboo as a mount through the loops along one side. Suspend the mount from at least two points on your wall, such as hooks or nails.

• Avoid hanging or placing in direct sunlight as this causes the colours to fade and the fibres to become fragile.
