Description:
Business Attire was made entirely using men's shirts that had been flattened out. With the striped shirt being the focal point, which gives the viewer a sense of the body of the original shirt after it has been restructured, Sherri surrounded it with other oxford shirts to create the rest of the quilt. Viewed up close, one can see the buttons and tags of the shirts interspersed throughout. Sherri quilted the piece irregularly, using large unorthodox stitches to give the quilt a more open look.
Materials and Techniques Used: Stripe and Oxford Shirts, Silk Ties, Fleece, Hand Quilted
