BEHIND THE QUILT

MEDITERRANEAN MUSE

“A couple of years ago I visited Lisbon for the first time and became completely

obsessed by all the beautiful, decorative tiles on the fronts of the buildings. It is

a city of infinite inspiration for quilters – you could spend hours in its Tile

Museum dreaming of all the quilts you could make. Once I returned home,

I used this inspiration to design a block that became part of the 2018 Aurifil

Designer of the Month sampler quilt. It was a striking block in its own right, but

when I ‘tiled’ it to see how it would look as a full quilt, it just got even better. As

I played around with colour options, I just knew I had to make a full quilt version

one day. For this quilt, I scaled up the block to be a little larger and added an

extra element to cut down on the bulk at the joins. I used softer spring colours –

reds, and greens, and yellows – to give the quilt a vintage feel, and the finished

design has just the kaleidoscopic eect that I’d hoped for!” – Jo Avery
