Description:
Metolius evolved from a memory that Jean had of being a very little girl on the Metolius River where her grandmother had a cabin. Before they put the dams up you could see all the fish in the river, and Jean would just go and hold her fishing pole out there and catch the fish. Remembering the colors from then, she created this quilt with her fantasy fish culled from her wonderful childhood memories.
