Turkish Treasures - A Red Rendition
 
 
 
76" X 86"

This Boston Commons quilt has an original setting and was inspired by Diane Gaudynski's "Red Square" quilt and the Turkish Treasures fabric collection from P & B Fabrics. Quilting designs are both some original and from Diane Gaudynski in "Choosing Quilting Designs" by Rodale. My 11th bed quilt was machine quilted on my Bernina 1230 using #100 YLI Silk thread (color 256), and took eight months to make. The quilting designs are all trapuntoed and it has a Hobbs wool batting. Completed January 13, 2003.
