Description:
Marge had taken classes and workshops from Gwen, and the fabric pieces used in the center of Ode to Gwen JOY Marston are from a box of rectangles that Gwen sent to her. Marge saved those pieces for a long time, knowing they were meant for a special project. When she learned that Gwen had passed in April 2019, Marge remembered that box and began to cut those rectangles into improvisational triangles, which was a technique Gwen showed her how to do, and began to make this quilt.
