This is a project I have had in my head for the longest time. There were lots of things to work out, including some challenging geometry involving a hexagonal pyramid, and the audition of potential materials (wool felt, canvas, and craft foam). Craft foam was the winner. I have completed hand cutting most of the nearly 500 wedges, which will be sewn to black bottom-weight fabric and stitched into pyramids. Now that construction has begun, I am getting pretty excited.
UPDATE: After sewing several pyramids together, I’m having doubts about the foam. This evening I bought some different felt than I tried before, which I am going to experiment with tomorrow. The colors aren’t quite as good, but I think I like the texture and the general look of it better.
I had thought someone might be able to guess what I’m making, but it’s so obscure that I would be amazed if anyone knew — so I’m just going to tell you. It’s a copy of the bedspread from the set of Alex DeLarge’s bedroom in the Stanley Kubrick movie, A Clockwork Orange. I know I am spending an inordinate amount of time on a sort of novelty gift, but it’s a fun challenge. If I end up using the felt, the new challenge will be what to do with 500 foam wedges.
How intriguing! I’m unable to even begin to guess other than maybe some sort of tree?
That’s just crazy (in a good way)!
How did you ever notice a detail like the bedding??? I remember watching the movie when it came out and was scared xxxxless. I am fascinated with seeing the movie again: 1) to see if I still find it as horrific as when I first saw it, and 2) to find this bedding!
That is SO awesome! You do the best quilts! This and the Charlie Harper Water Drop are just ingenious! 🙂
This is absolutely amazing! I would die for a bedding like this! Would you be interested in selling me one?
Oh my, i wanted this quilt since i first saw CWO!!! do you have images of yours finished?
Did you ever finish this? It’s amazing! I’d love to see what the finished project looked like! Do you take commissions?
I was looking for a replica to buy and came across this! I was hoping it was a “how-to” did you ever finish! I’d love to know your whole process!
