Laura Kemshall’s quilt is one of a series where she explores the combination of portraits and pattern. Black Pearl takes the traditional Drunkard’s Path block and places it in an arrangement to form discs of colour, or pearls. The piecing is combined with painting and very dense free machine quilting.
