Description:

Artist Statement: "Second quilt of a series that explores the relationship of the color red with every other color; this quilt focuses on red and blue. Originally started with the intention of being a 'small' wall hanging; this piece is a testament to the very nature of improvisation and how it can grow organically, and outgrow our conceptions, hopefully opening up new paths. Entirely made of upcycled fabrics (mainly bed linens), and upcycled flannel sheets as batting."

 

Techniques Used: Machine Pieced, Improvisational Piecing, Machine Quilted without a Frame (Domestic)
