Siddi Piece

Siddi quilts are an African innovation, starting from the outside a
nd working in. Siddi is the name given to an originally African group in India who make these quilts from scraps, often pieces salvaged from old saris. Where fabrics overlap an edge is turned under and the whole secured by parallel lines of kantha type stitching. I started mine in a workshop given by an Indian lady at QuiltCon this year and was reminded of it hen I saw Sujata Shah demonstrating on the Quilt Show the other day. This will be a portable piece for hand sewing days.
