Kokopelli

Tribal and southwest fabrics combined with neutral prints make a striking modern quilt. 


Large 9” triangles were created in black, brown, gray, tan, and cream colors using half hexagons and equilateral triangles.


I added a narrow black border, then framed with 4” strips. Quilting in dark gray thread in a straight stitch, I made two rows along each seam of the triangle side edges. I changed to a scallop stitch along the outer borders.


Backing and binding are a dark gray and cream swirl print. Kokopelli is 62” square. It's been on my list for a while, and was so fun to create.
