Allow me to introduce to you MY\u00a0 approach to interpreting Quilting\u00a0in Tatting:<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

I have several approaches to\u00a0incoporating quilt-inspired designs into tatting, specifically Split Ring Tatting.\u00a0\u00a0 This morning I did a quick count of the pieces that I have done and I have 4 distinct styles<\/strong> of Quilt-Inspired Tatting Designs.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The design-type that I am finishing up at the end of this year is what I call my “Patchwork Series”.\u00a0<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n

A Patchwork Quilt is created by sewing together smaller ‘pieces’ of fabric into a larger ‘block’ of fabric to create a basic design unit.\u00a0 Historically the different ‘blocks’ had names that date back to pioneer days.<\/p>\n

To recreate quilt blocks in my Tatted Patchwork Series<\/span><\/strong>, I use\u00a0‘square-rings’ (a term coined by another designer to designate rings created with 4 DS, picot, 4 DS, picot, 4 DS, picot, 4 DS)<\/em>\u00a0created using\u00a0<\/em>Split Ring Tatting technique to ‘stack’ them one upon another, in right angles to one another, \u00a0to form a ‘piece’.\u00a0 Then the ‘pieces’<\/strong> (in different colors)<\/em> are joined together to form ‘blocks’<\/strong>.\u00a0 I have been studying historical quilt blocks (the fabric kind) to discern the pattern of the block and then creating my own ‘pieces’ and ‘blocks’.<\/p>\n

PATCHWORK Tatted Quilt Designs: L–‘Double Pinwheel’, R–‘Weathervane’.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The two tatted blocks above are the two that I have done (tatted)–not finished nor blocked!\u00a0 Yikes—I really need to work on my photography skills!<\/span><\/em>
\nDon’t be too daunted by the all the ends that will need to be finished (at least 2 per ‘block’)<\/em>—they can be brought to the back of a piece of fabric and tied off, concealing the ends.\u00a0 More about that later!!!<\/p>\n
