Description:
Artist Statement: "This quilt of Maya Angelou is made up completely of log cabin blocks. Each of the 108 blocks has a center element that is built upon. As much as possible I tried to keep the center element one solid color, but there are places that it would have taken away critical details, so on those blocks the center element may be broken down into 4 squares. I made this quilt to honour Maya's legacy as I admire her work. This is the second version of this quilt, the other version was made without the log cabins throughout and has been offered to a museum, I made this version to keep for myself and challenged myself to make it slight differently with the log cabins. It is made up of 12 different colours of fabric, approx. 2,500 pieces of fabric and took in the region of 100 hours to create."
Techniques Used: Machine Pieced, Machine Quilted on a Frame (longarm)
