Description:
This mostly silk quilt has fabrics from travels to India and Thailand, vintage satin manufactured by my ancestors (Skinner Silk Mills, Holyoke, MA), fabric from a distant cousin who specialized in Japanese designs, and fabric scraps from clothing I made. Quilt edges are purposely not straight. I embellished the white satin panel (vintage) that had existing cutwork of lilacs. A selvege with the family name (Skinner) is also featured.
