Description:
The words featured on Karla's quilt, Focus, state, "You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus," which is a quote by Mark Twain. Playing off the idea of not being able to depend on your eyes, Karla structured the words as if you were to read them off of an eye chart, with the letters at the top being larger and then getting smaller as you go down the quilt.
