Description:
It wasn't until some years later when Marcia went to visit the original location that the photo was taken that she realized that it was taken in front of a parking garage. Having difficulty faithfully replicating the photo in Gone for a Dip, Marcia made the decision to create her own appropriate background for the setting rather than use the true parking garage one. The lounge chairs were created using striped fabric, rather than individually pieced strips.
Techniques Used: Machine Appliqué ; Machine Pieced and Quilted
