Today’s preview from Art Quilt Australia 2023 features another wool quilt entered into Expressions: The Wool Quilt Prize. In Ghost Blanket IX , Fiona Gavens of Brunswick West, Victoria deconstructs woven check blankets to create an applique piece with the qualities of lace. The natural colours of alpaca fleece give a somewhat faded feel, bringing back memories of check blankets from the past.
