Description:
Artist Statement: "I began this quilt just playing with bits of hand-painted fabric and scraps from previous projects, adding and deleting design elements as I worked and building shadow with discharge and quilting. I enjoy working with the design-as-you-go process. I had no idea what to name the finished quilt, so I sent out a “name that quilt” plea to my family. My granddaughter, Claire, named it. Thanks, Claire!"
