Description:
Leaning more into her abstract sensibilities, Whooper features a whooping crane as its central figure, but both it and the background are somewhat deconstructed into the simpler shapes of an abstract quilt rather than the more realistic designs seen in a standard pictorial quilt. Pat says about her inspiration for the quilt, "Whooping cranes are coming back from extinction thanks to the Crane Foundation of Baraboo, WI where my cousin, Mary Kay Baum took a photo I used to inspire this piece."
