Synopsis
It's a thoroughly new textile art, an ingenious mix of two of the most popular crafts: quilting and origami. Instead of two-sided colored paper, the animals, leaves, flowers, and figures created for centuries in Japan are reinterpreted in fabric relief--and the resulting quilt blocks can become long-lasting, exquisitely stitched items. Just follow these designs to create irresistibly tactile sculptural quiltagami blankets, ornaments, and more. The richly colored Evening Sky Pillow has shimmering golden star blocks that stand out against deep blue backing; appliqué beading in the center adds yet another layer of depth. A dimensional Lotus Flower Ornament seems to take root, blossom, and grow right out of the material. Give baby a Come Play with Me Quilt with adorable stitched on animals and toys. Or create and display a vivid Tropical Fish Block. You'll go wild for this beautiful, original art form.
