Designed by Anja Townrow, this small quilt can be used as a table centre or as a striking wall decoration. The centre star magically appears when the six foundation pieced diamonds are joined together.
Torans are a very traditional textile in northern India. Sewn using a combination of patchwork, applique or embroidery, they are designed to hang as a frieze over a doorway, welcoming both visitors and gods. Below the central panel, the hanging pennants represent mango leaves, a symbol of good fortune. This is a folk art toran by Marion Haslam which proves that even angels have bad hair days - it's probably all that fast flying!
