Q117 – Warhol’s Itch – Quilt and Wall Hanging

Good Day,

And now for something completely different. Our Warhol’s Itch quilt and wall hanging has been completed.

Yes Andy and I have finished what we think is a unique type of a quilt and wall hanging. We are amazed at we have accomplished and how this new quilt has come about. Our original Warhol’s Marilyn is now our Warhol’s Itch.

Obviously we were inspired, thank you Norma Jean, Andy Warhol, Billy Wilder, Julie Styne, and Leo Robins. by a number of ideas and available techniques and technology.  Andy and I have come up with something that we hope, apart from being different, is something that is distinctive, and a part of our quilting learning experience. The story of our Warhol’s Itch is a continuation of our current journey into the world of quilting and fabric art.

The dimensions of our Warhol’s Itch are: Wide – 42” (107 cms) and Length (at the lowest point) – 40” (102 cms). Warhol’s Itch will have a hanging sleeve and our personalized label added shortly.

Here are some additional images, front, close-up, and back.

My Quip – Warhol’s Itch – Some New and Quick Pleats - Update

Good Day,

Andy and I thought that you may like a quick peek at the progress we have been making on our new Warhol’s Itch.

This one is certainly something different. The design and the layout of the fabric is looking more and more like our original intention and draft.

 

Follow the progress and our previous posts.

My Quip - Warhol's Itch - The Progress Continues

Good Day,

Andy and I have been quiet. Posting to Quilts SB? Yes.  Working on our new projects? Well, not exactly. We've been working on a very different project of which we're both extremely excited.

Will it turn out okay? Hell if we know, but as you do know we have become the type of quilters that we feel that there might be a lot to gain from experimentation and trying something completely different.  And our new project is definitely different.

This is only a sneak peek. This one is a quilt and wall hanging that will be approximately 48" wide and 36" long, give or take.

 

And the quilt sandwich has already been made. The background, currently under construction, is of 100% cooton and a shade of white.

We are naming this new project, Warhol's Itch.And we're not sure, as yet, what category of quilt this may fall under.

Check back to Quilts SB for our progress and updates on all our current working projects. If you have any comments, questions, thoughts, and ideas please contact us at Quilts SB.

Enjoy,

Jim and Andy
