V = VERY impressive!

Are you ready for an OMG moment?  Check this out….

 

...the front of the quilt...

 

Quiltologist Paul Davis has executed another feat of fabric engineering genius! 

 

This two sided t-shirt quilt was made for his niece—a freshman at Vanderbilt—thus the giant V emblazoned on the back.  The picture doesn’t do it justice.  While the rest of us would have appliquéd the V, Paul challenged himself to piece the V into the backing.  That’s right folks—we’re talking curved AND INSET piecing in the shape of the logo.   Very few quilters are brave enough to try this let alone pull it off.

 ...the back...

Of course this quilt has generated lots of buzz with students in the dorm asking where they can get something like this.  And the answer is simple—they can’t.  This quilt is one of a kind—a true labor of love—and a treasure to last a lifetime.

 

What’s next Paul?

Hi, my name is Kiara and I am Paul Davis' niece. It is so exciting to see my quilt up on the website. It is truly one of my prized possessions and will be with me forever. I can never thank Paul enough for all the time and love he put into this quilt.
