Copper/Brass Quilt and Copper Stand






I haven't been very productive lately, but here's a little quilt I made as part of a series several years ago, using copper mesh and brass mesh, along with copper rivets and copper beads.

I also made the stand, using 1/4 inch copper plumbing tubing.

Can you tell I love copper?

I am glad you showed this Marilyn,
The fabrics and the mesh work well together. But the addition of the copper rivets and beads are just right for drawing the eye around. they also make a great repeat for the circular motifs in the fabrics.

I am in love with the frame. Was it hard to do?

I love copper, too. I have bits and pieces I have been saving. I shall have to consider making a frame like that if I ever get a quilt made with the bits!
