The Quilt Show Puzzle: An Incredible "Indigo" Look
"Indigo" by Blair Stocker

Indigo was inspired by the work that Blair had to do with denim while working in the apparel industry. Really needing to understand denim weaves and finishes for her work, she created this quilt using those techniques. Asked many times whether the quilt contains batting, since the material she used was already dense, Blair always lets them know that while the quilt feels like a weighted blanket at times, it does indeed have batting in it.
