Birds of Film

Hedy Wessel

Machine pieced, machine quilted, all 100% cotton. My son’s trip to Alaska inspired these two ‘birds on film’ hangings. He saw a large quilt on display at a quilt shop there and was impressed with the black and white borders (35 mm film strips) around the pictures. He took a photo of that quilt and actually bought some fat quarters of Alaska’s native animals and I ordered the pattern from the store in Sitka. I made him a narrow wall hanging quilt from the fabric he brought home. I use scraps of fabrics for these two for myself.
