My Quilts

Grace’s Star. Made 2023. Inspired by a 1968 Star quilt made by Grace Zimega (Teton/Western Sioux) who lived on the Standing Rock Reservation. I entered it into the Cherokee National Holiday Quilt Show (which is open to everyone) and it won 1st place in Machine Pieced/Machine Quilted! So honored.

The “Crazy One” was shown at Quiltcon 2024. It got lots of love, likes, and shares! So happy to see others celebrate all the joy and weirdness in this quilt. I made it just for fun. Free motion machine quilted. 2023. Double Wedding Ring pattern.

By Teresa Duryea Wong. 2019. 85 x 85 inches. Pieced from my collection of antique and vintage Japanese cotton fabric. Hand quilted. Some of the fabric pieces in this quilt are about a century old, others are vintage. All of it was collected during my annual trips to Japan. These fabrics are Katazome, Kasuri, Yukata, wovens, and more. The only new fabric is the off-white, which is a mixed washi and cotton blend.

My quilt coat gets rave reviews and some weird looks when I wear it! I made this in late 2021. The patchwork design is inspired by a quilt made by Japanese artist Yoshiko Jinzenji. I took her idea and changed it up a bit to fit the coat. The pattern for the jacket is by Megan Nielsen Patterns. I pieced and quilted the sections for each pattern part first (on a longarm), then stitched them together. I wore this at Quiltcon Austin 2022 and felt like a fashion model with so many wonderful comments!

By Teresa Duryea Wong. 2022. 95 x 95 inches. Double Wedding Ring pattern created from all of the weird and wonderful fabric prints in my collection. Some of these have been stashed for a decade or more. I finally decided to use them all in this crazy mash-up of color and pattern. Free-motion machine quilted.
