Little Letterpress Quilt Art Print
The geometric designs and fabrics of vintage quilts have long captured Christy’s heart and eye. Inspired, she set out to make a letterpress quilt using antique metal ornaments and spacers. Limited edition of 60 signed and numbered prints. Sold unframed.
Christy designed the quilt to use five different ink colors, hand-mixing several of the colors to get the exact hue she was looking for. Each color required its own press set-up, and each printed a unique, hand-set configuration of ornaments locked-up in the press bed. Printing commenced in order from lightest to darkest color: yellow, orange, gold, purple and finally violet. Great care was taken to ensure colors aligned with one another as intended.
Little Letterpress Quilt was honorably selected for the 2023 Hamilton Woodtype and Printing Museum’s New Impressions Exhibit in Two Rivers, Wisconsin.
