Blue and White Quilt
Ira Blount · 2008
This nine-square block quilt has four large blue and white checkboard blocks interspersed with five white blocks. The white blocks are stenciled with a feather-like design reminiscent of Delftware ceramic patterns in blue ink or paint. The outline of the curvy shapes of this design have been hand-quilted with off-white thread, giving the appearance of applique. The remainder of the quilting is done following a diagonal line through the corners and centers of each of the squares.
