Iron Chef

Cotton fabric, screen material (provenance unknown), Japanese kami cord, craft papers, 100% silk yarn, a strange fringed bead.
My art quilt group loves a challenge and the more outlandish the ingredients the better: discarded product packaging, traffic-stopping color combinations, objectively hideous fabrics. The weird grey medallion material is made of plastic and may have been designed originally as a window treatment or room divider. So of course we decided to see what each of us could make with it.
Used a piece of stash fabric as a background for the screen. The assembly process involved cutting up, weaving, fusing, and sewing pieces together until the sanity alarm rang and it was time to move on.
