Fantastic Quilt Friday

Mom has finally finished the top of Jasmine's quilt. She used a technique called Seminole patchwork, where strips of various widths are sewn together, then cut apart and rearranged to make very unique, graphic designs.

For instance, this strip of three colors, when cut apart and rearranged...
makes this patterned band:
And this strip, cut apart at a 45-degree angle, and rearranged....
can make something like this. Mom didn't use either of these in the finished quilt top she made for Jasmine.
But she did make these two strips, cut them apart and rearranged them:
into this one, which she likes very much:
A big piece like this, with strips cut at a 45-degree angle one way, and then another strip cut with the pieces at the other 45-degree angle (to get a mirror image) and rearranged:
make this pattern:

Here is the finished quilt top. It's a bit bigger than the others, about 26" x 28", but Mom says that's the size the quilt wanted to be. (yeah, sure, like I believe that.)

I think Jasmine approves.Mom said, "Don't even ask." The quilt top alone took her over 16 hours to make, so she isn't going to make any quilts like this to sell.

The Seminoles are an Indian tribe from Florida. You'd have to do a Google search to find more information. If you want a book about Seminole Patchwork, you can try Amazon.
