Upcycled Quilted Wall Hanging

This upcycled quilted wall hanging is made using an improvisational patchwork technique, where each section develops in response to the previous one rather than following a fixed pattern. The composition feels structured but not rigid, with small shifts in placement that keep the surface varied. Hand-stitched circles are applied across the piece with fine, almost invisible stitching, sitting lightly on the surface and adding a second layer of detail. The indigo patterning is created using a shibori technique, producing areas of irregular marks and tonal variation. Softer, faded sections move alongside deeper, more saturated blues, creating contrast without sharp edges. This interplay of tones gives the piece a steady visual rhythm, while the mix of fabrics introduces subtle changes in texture. It is easy to hang and works well in a variety of spaces, from living areas to workrooms. The scale makes it flexible to place, whether on its own or layered with other pieces.
