Electric Quilt sketch
John is from The Philippines. I'm using Manila Quilt Design block to attempt to imitate a barong, the Filipino embroidered dress shirt.
The quilt has been in my head for many years. All along, I had planned to use a pale blue tone-on-tone for the background (see above). But I couldn't find the right one during my fabric hunt last night.
Fabrics for the quilt
Unable to find a pale blue that made me happy, the off-white batik spoke to me, and now it will be the background. The dark blues on the bottom of the photo are scraps. I prefer the center one; the others are backups in case I run out of my favorite.
I expect to begin cutting fabric within a day or two.
