A tall, narrow wall hanging that sits the way a banner does, long and uninterrupted, in deep linen blue. The proportions are about three times taller than wide, the kind of shape that works well on a thin strip of wall beside a doorway, in a stairwell, or above a chest of drawers.
Elyn pieces the linen blocks on the machine and quilts the layers by hand. The binding is hand-finished, the way a quilter from the Bauhaus textile rooms would have done it. The batting is unbleached cotton.
The hanging carries a dowel sleeve across the top so a length of wooden dowel, roughly 30 cm long, will let it sit flat against the wall. The dowel itself is not included, but a hardware shop will cut one to size in a couple of minutes.
This is a single, finished piece. The composition will not be remade.

Elyn Middleton makes patchwork quilts and wall hangings in linen, from her living room in Sheffield. Her patterns come from post-war architecture and from the Bauhaus textile artists, Anni Albers and Sophie Taeuber-Arp.
