Finally finished my mega quilt! 80 individual photographs printed on fabric and woven into the quilt using an original plaid design. Photos of my artist wooden models were used as templates for the four characters, which were then appliqued onto silk swatches using some cool Martha Negley designed fabric. They looked a bit naked, even after adding the birds, so I later added bathing suits with a fabric I designed and printed. The quilt is so big (74 1/4" h x 66 3/4" w) I had to do it in three sections then sew the sections together at the end. What's going on in this quilt, you ask? Well, I love California, I love the sun, I love taking photos in my neighborhood on sunny days, and I love birds.
