Quilt- Moroccan Tile

Today's quilt is also a quilt I showed at our recent quilt guild show.



Moroccan Tiles is from a  pattern designed by Heather Peterson for Anka's Treasures.  Heather was a speaker at our quilt guild this year.  When she showed her pattern Moroccan Tiles I knew I had finally found the pattern I had been looking for my collection of  very special Malaysian Batiks.

For my piece I decorated each block individually with unique embellishments. The blocks have embroidery with various types of threads and beading.
     

My wall hanging version is 42" X 35.5" .
Cotton backing. Batik fabric used to pipe with black binding.
Black background is a small scale meandering done on my domestic sewing machine.
Blocks forming arabesque design are enhanced with machine stitch in the ditch, then hand embellished.
