Organised Chaos Patchwork Quilt

Someone asked me where I got the inspiration of this quilt.  I tried to explain that it 'evolved', that I hadn't sketched a design and that it just came to me.  This answer wasn't sufficient.  Was the design led by the 'coin' pattern or led by the colour scheme?  When I thought more about the questions I had to concede that it was the colour palette that was my starting point.  I knew I wanted to use this particular combination of colours.  As for the design itself, it really did evolve.

When it came to the quilting I didn't want structure and wanted something free-flowing and random and I think I've probably achieved that aim!  I felt the patchwork didn't need a border or visible binding to frame the piece and so I added what I call a magic binding.  It has other names but I rather like calling it magic binding (for more details about magic bindings see the blog/tutorial I wrote).  Basically it is a binding that you can't see from the front and by using this technique it gives the quilt a more contemporary appearance.

The quilt measures approximately W52" x L66" or W132 cms x L168 cms.  There is a layer of 100% cotton wadding between the layers.  The fabric is 100% cotton and the thread is also 100% cotton.  The quilt is machine washable on a gentle setting.

This quilt could be used as a topper, as a wall hanging or even as a luxury picnic mat.  If you would like a hanging sleeve added to the back so that you can use this as a wall hanging, I'm happy to add this at no extra charge.
