The Diamond Quilt is done! 11 women, members of the IWC
(International Women's Club) St Petersburg from Russia, Argentina, China, Italy, Denmark, Peru, the Netherlands, England and Germany,
as well as a quilter from Russia, worked together to make this absolute unique Charity Quilt. I's a true piece of
fabric art, made with lots of time, lots of love and lots of
positive thoughts.
Das Top besteht aus 334 Rauten in verschiedenen Weiß-, Grau- und Schwarztönen, die von Hand geheftet und zusammengenäht wurden, umgeben von einem weißen Rand. Der
Quilt hat ungefähr die Maße 128x171 cm. Die allermeisten Stoffstücke sind aus
Baumwolle, unifarben oder gemustert, einige wenige aus Mischstoffen. Für die Rückseite wurde ein weißer Baumwollstoff verwendet. Als Zwischenlage wurde ein Baumwoll-Polyester-Quiltvlies verwendet. Das Design und Binding sind von mir. Das professionelle Quilting auf einer Longarm-Quilting-Maschine hat Marina Kontsevaya, eine Quilterin aus St. Petersburg, gespendet und durchgeführt.
The top consists of 334 diamonds in various shades of white, grey and black, basted and sewn
together by hand, framed by a white border. The quilt size is about 128x171 cm. The fabric
pieces used for the diamonds are mostly cotton, plain-colored or patterned, along with a few
mixed fabrics. The back of the quilt is made of white cotton. A
layer of polyester-cotton quilting batting was used as batting. The design
and the binding was done by me. The professionel quilting on a longarm quilting machine was donated and done by Marina Kontsevaya, a quilter from St Petersburg.
