Hawaiian Bleach Discharge Quilt
Amie Kusak had this original quilt on display at Homespun Harbor, a quilt shop in Aiea near Honolulu, Hawaii. It was hanging on the wall as a class sample before it disappeared sometime during the first couple months of 2000.
The quilt is 27" by 27". It was made using the bleach discharge method. The center medallion is NOT appliqu�d. The puffy center is also enhanced using machine trapunto and the background is very closely stippled by machine. There is a little patch next to the center motif where Amie accidentally cut the front fabric when trimming the trapunto batting.
The quilt uses a blue and purple Bali batik with a swirly design and a deep purple narrow border and binding. It was made by Amie during the spring of 1996. It was labeled with Amie�s name, the date finished, and location (Fort Hood, Texas). The label was appliqu�d on, so it could possibly be removed.
If you can give us any information about this quilt, please contact Amie at [email protected].
