Artist Statement/ Description/ Method
This quilt is my ode to the ethereal beauty of Jaipur Blue Pottery, a craft that was brought back from near extinction . A mirror that I had made using the Jaipur Blue Pottery tiles became my inspiration for this quilt. The various designs and motifs used in the craft form the base in creating each of the tile blocks. The outlines of the designs have been done using FMQ and colors have been filled. I have attempted to give the effect of a mirror by using muted silvery fabric. The quilting on it has been done in alternate lines of grey and metallic silver thread to give a feel of light reflection. The individual blocks have been so assembled to give the effect of grouting between the tile blocks finally framing with a brown fabric.
