Design Concept: I bought the remnant of printed corduroy velvet in Salamanca, Spain. This was not a usual fabric choice for me but I loved the ‘movement’ suggested in the design. Immediately after this purchase we had a dynamic performance of Flamenco Dancing. I associated the colour, movement and drama of the dance with the fabric patterning and designed two quilts with this inspiration – one with a horizontal format and the other a vertical format.
