The Quilt Show Puzzle: "Flying Carrots" by Ann Feitelson
Do a puzzle of Ann Feitelson's quilt, Flying Carrots.
Inspired by her very first quilt that she created in the early 1970s, which was also a flying geese quilt, Flying Carrots takes the flying geese block down to Earth and in the soil. Ann has two themes she revisits in her quilts, food and the cosmos. The foo quilts tend to be more focused and intimate, while the cosmic quilts are big, vast, and abstract. After finishing a cosmic quilt, she felt she had to make something more down to Earth, and what's more down to Earth than carrots. Coming full circle with her first flying geese quilt, Ann felt it was an appropriate time to revisit that design aesthetic and create flying geese that are actually "flying carrots".
