The Jump is based on an illustration from Ukrainian artist Sveta Dorosheva from her book, How to Handle a Child, and used with her permission. It is from a chapter in the book also titled "The Jump", but Sveta told Cristina that she could title her quilt whatever she would like. So, she chose The Jump because it was just too perfect to not use. The only thing that Cristina changed from the original illustration was the color of the water, which she changed from black to gray using her thread color choice.

Here's more from Cristina herself on why she chose to make this quilt, "I love children's books, and a year ago, I discovered the extraordinary illustrations from Sveta Dorosheva. I believe she portrays children like very few people do. Her children are real. This girl reminds me of the girl I was in the summer. I had plenty of energy and was always looking forward to the days of swimming. I would like people to think about their own childhood when they see this quilt."
