"Tribal Fusion" is a black and white wholecloth quilt by Sherry Rogers-Harrison that just knocks our socks off.

Tribal Fusion was inspired from a drawing done in Sherry's creative design course by Tom Russell. This piece is the first of Sherry's "tratempory" quilts and is a fusion of Tom's contemporary flair combined with Sherry's love for tradition.

Here is what Sherry has to say about the quilt: "This quilt is the result of a design collaboration between myself and the talented Tom Russell. The quilt took approx. 500 hours to design, draw onto fabric, quilt and finally add the color. I used 21 Sakura gel pens and 12 Sakura black markers to complete the inking."

Some of the awards this quilt has won include 1st Place Best Wall Quilt AQS Paducah 2008, 1st Place Innovative Wholecloth MQS 2008, and 1st Place APNQ 2008.
