Fractured Quilt

Fractured Quilt is a more traditional design with repeated blocks and a border. The quilt measures 58 1/2” x 80” and because of the block placement, a secondary design is created.

The blocks are made from a wide variety of black and gold prints. But when you break the quilt down to the actual 11” block, it is simply a large light triangle and a large dark triangle with a couple of light and dark strips in the center on either side of a gold square. All of the gold squares and the inner border are made from the same fabric pulling the scrappy blocks together.

The block placement creates the secondary design of six large on-point squares with the center strips and squares. Also, the 6” outer border of a black print with a gold scroll helps pull the quilt together and frame the fractured center.

A gold on tan loopy print backs the quilt. All fabrics and batting are 100% cotton. The custom quilting (see closeup photos) in the lighter triangles mimics the scrolly patterns in the fabrics. Also, the dark triangles and strips of the blocks are quilted with narrow freeform lines. Loops fill the light strips and border.

Easy care: machine wash, cold and tumble dry, low or line dry. Iron as needed.

This one-of-a-kind quilt was machine pieced and quilted by Margaret Spevak.
