“The Great Wave” ( No: 6 )

“The Great Wave” This quilt is based on a 19 th century Japanese woodblock print, called “The Great Wave, part of a series by Hokusai, called “Views of Mt. Fuji”. I left Mt. Fuji out of my quilt. My assigned block is called Balkan Puzzle. 3 full blocks make up the lower ocean water, with several others slashed to make waves. The quilt is 18.5 x 14 inches, and made with cotton quilt fabric, thin cotton batting, and machine patchwork, and quilting. I added French knots by hand, to make the bubbles and foam.
