Mondrian Quilt Top

Piet Mondrian. Composition: Light Color Planes with Grey Contours. 1919.

As a comparison, here’s the original piece.

I made a to scale replica of this painting in quilt form, and I am just so dang impressed with myself. I made it 12′ x 12′ so I don’t have to add a border or anything, just a backing and binding. My only problem now is how to quilt it. I’ve done queen sized quilts on my regular sewing machine, but I think a king is just asking too much. I really love a densely quilted quilt, but I don’t want anything to distract from the bigger picture. Hmmm. This will take a lot of pondering.

Because no project is complete around here until a cat lays on top of it.

  1. but now I want Mondrian quilt with an Atti on it… and possibly a cat too…I see a whole series of these now…You can quilt a king size on a sewing machine of normal proportions, but you need a very large table, a friend to hold up the quilt and just go for it… oh yeah and keeping it simple helps too
