Rusted Nails Journal Quilt


As a final fling to my series based on rust I used a whole piece of rusted fabric as the background to this month's Journal Quilt for Contemporary Quilts. As I had had difficulty machine quilting previous pieces of rusted cloth I took the coward's way out and decided that this one would have minimal quilting.

A friend of mine recenlty gave me some rusted nails, screws and washers that her husband was clearing out so I couched them in a circle with the washer at the centre. The machine quilting followed the line of the rusted colour.





This is the last of the four that needed to have a circle included in the design and now we move on the having to have text.
