"Faith Alone" was created by Jerry Granata for an art quilt challenge with the theme of "doors".

Faith Alone was born out of an art quilt challenge that Jerry participated in while in an art group in Florida. The theme of the challenge was doors, and Jerry's photographer friend Ryan took a photo of an abandoned church in Canada over twenty-five years ago which he loved the texture of and decided to use as the inspiration for this quilt. Measuring 50" x 60", and machine quilted and hand-embroidered, the piece was Jerry's first foray into using unusual fabrics and materials. Probably the most unusual is at the top of the window, which uses sheet vinyl and theatrical gels, which are thin plastic sheeting used in the theater to give lighting its color. Wanting to be as realistic with the quilt as possible, Jerry made the hinges of the door using Timtex interfacing, which he also covered the batik used for the brick with and painted heavily with fabric paint to provide the metal and textured looks.
