"Shadows of the Divine" art quilt by Susan V. Polansky

Shadows of the Divine

2018
32″ x 45″

Materials:
Cotton, batting, fusible web, acrylic ink, Evolon non-woven material

Techniques:
Stitched fabric collage with knife-edge uneven border

Knots & Tangles

Creating the bottom edge was a challenge. I sandwiched a painted strip of Evalon between a traditional knife-edge binding. The non-woven material took the ink well and allowed a detailed edge to be cut into it.

Work Contents

Paint Usage?

On the bottom irregular edge, there is some textile paint that matches the fabric along that edge.
