Today's featured quilt transforms discarded materials into art. The artists' work reimagines waste as something modern and beautiful, highlighting the resilience of denim and leather. We are drawn to the soft indigo hues and the contrasts with gold/brown leather.

A Study on Wash Formulas and Dye by Radha Weaver (San Francisco, California) @sewingthroughfog
Radha Weaver explains that her quilt is a study of contrasts - light and dark, raw and refined, organic and industrial. It was made with upcycled jeans and denim factory samples hand-dyed by the artist in natural indigo. The denim samples were paired these with commercially dyed leather scraps to reclaim waste from two environmentally toxic industries.
Radha Weaver is a member of the Silicon Valley Modern Quilt Guild (California). This piece was machine pieced, improvisational pieced, and machine quilted without a frame (domestic).
