This is a design from a couple of years ago and that I first used for a mini quilt. Since then I had in mind to reuse it for a larger piece. The palette selected for this year fabric challenge was perfect to make this project finally happen. To my husband, the saw tooth shape combined to the coal and brick colours suggested industrial buildings of the 19th century. As it resonated with me, I decided to name my quilt after that idea. 'Shed' is a word borrowed from the English language and used in French to refer to saw tooth roofs in industrial architecture. Historically a part of the roof was made out of glass to bring day light inside the workshop. The quilting is a mix of horizontal and diagonal straight lines, the diagonals depicting ray of light.
