"Millefleur," a 78" x 68" wholecloth quilt by Jan Hutchinson of Newton, KS. Longarm quilted.
"Wholecloth" in this case means that she started with one piece of mottled teal fabric and all color and definition in the finished piece comes from thread quilted atop.
Seen at the Pacific International Quilt Festival yesterday
Stunning although I’m pretty sure a lot of the gorgeous flowers are appliquéd fabric not “quilting thread”.
Not that anyone who reblogs this version will see this, but @isopodbrood sent me a great addition explaining the thread painting (not applique)
the quilt you reblogged- everything in the blue-green color is the original fabric and everything else is thread painted. here is a tiktok explaining a little better! https://www.tiktok.com/@macouturecrafting/video/7396996679813172523?_r=1&_t=8olI5oZVrbi
