Quiltmaker Kione Kochi was first introduced to our readers through the feature “My Place, My Style” in vol.4 of Subsequence Magazine. On this occasion she has produced a cushion and do-it-yourself patchwork kit especially for Subsequence that will be made available for sale.

Kione’s process begins by choosing her fabrics. She then begins sewing pieces together while carefully considering the arrangement of colors and shapes as if she were composing a painting. Each patchwork quilt is produced as it spreads in size. With smaller pieces of fabric, she makes quilts scaled to fit smaller items, but will also utilize them as a decorative element in her larger quilts reminiscent of a glittering of stardust. Depending on where and what is placed, even a small scrap of fabric is able to reinvent itself into an individual piece of work and maintain its own presence.
