Artist Statement

I choose to make this trench coat for my 20th Anniversary Guild Challenge. I have incorporated 20 buttons into this trench coat. Mom gave me a bunch of these upholstery samples already cut in rectangles so I decided to make a disappearing 9 patch for the fabric. I made a large quilt top quilted it then cut out the pattern pieces.

Many years ago I found this Godmother and just last year I decided to make her.. She is all paper pieced... each godmother made will be different as the sections a chosen at the roll of a dice. i.e. the crown, hair, forehead, eyes, nose, lips and dress. all have 5 or 6 choices. I presented it to the guild in hopes that others would do this project also.

Quilt Maker: Q'orianka Reyes

Techniques: Pieced with Tied Fleece Throw

Design Source: Sleepy Sloth by Elizabeth Hartman


Artist Statement

Q'orianka loves animals. One of her favorites are sloths and she loved this sloth hugging onto the tree. This was her first time creating a picture by piecing. Q'orianka changed up the colors, doing a blue background rather than the recommended pink, and loves the finished project. She even had enough of the fleece to tie a tiny blanket for her cat, Milo!

Granny helped with the cutting but all of the sewing was done by Q'orianka. To get nice even seams she used lines drawn on 1/4" from fabric edge.
