A vinta is a traditional outrigger boat in the Philippines. They are made by people in the Sulu Archipelago, Zamboanga peninsula, and southern Mindanao. A vinta is usually made with colorful sails. I took the photo below in Mindanao.
I've always been drawn to the sea because my ancestors were involved in maritime work and traveled the world to reach the Philippines. I was inspired to make the vinta designed hand quilted throw pillow from a photo by Mohd Sarj (more about it here).
Here's a step-by-step video on how I made it -
The materials I used:
various pink printed fabric
white with tiny prints fabric
dark brown fabric for the base of the vinta
plain pink fabric for binding
wadding
backing fabric
fabric for the back part of the pillow
thread and needle
lots of pins and clips
