What's special about the patches on this piece?
It is pieced from large, irregular panels in blue, teal and navy, with cream and pink embroidered panels mixed in. Some of the panels are shaped like garment necklines, which gives it a collected, storied look. A bright blue edge frames the whole piece.
How does a cool blue piece look on a wall?
Calm but detailed. The blues and teals sit well against white, cream or grey walls, and the pink and cream panels add warmth. It suits a living room or bedroom with wooden furniture, where its appliqué panels can be seen up close.
Is it a wall hanging or a tablecloth?
Both. You get one cotton piece, 40x60 inches, that can be hung on a wall or laid on a table. You can switch between the two as you like, spreading it on a dining or centre table for a while and putting it back on the wall after.
Will mine look exactly like the photos?
Very close, but not identical. Each piece is made by hand from many fabric patches, and matching the same patches twice is extremely difficult. The overall colour stays similar, while individual patches may differ. The photos were taken by the artisans themselves.
Can it be customised?
Yes, customisation is available at an additional cost. Since each piece is put together by hand from fabric patches, a customised piece will also carry its own unique mix of patches, while the overall colour stays similar.
Where in the house does it work best?
It suits a large blank wall in the living room, the wall behind a bed or sofa, or an entrance passage. As a tablecloth it can dress a dining or centre table. Place it where it is seen from a little distance so the full patchwork shows.
