Description:
While made of fabric, Surprise is a non-traditional quilt as it folds open and shut. While shut it has a beautiful rainbow and diamond design on the outside, but when open displays one of Mary's fabulous pop-up quilts made of fabric, hence the "surprise" of the title. The design was inspired by one her previous quilts, Bargello, and pop-up work she had seen cut out of paper. Alex and Ricky both thought the pop-up looked liked a cityscape. What does it remind you of?
