Description

This quilt was co-created by Chautauqua friends who came to my home and used objects from my garden to create shadows on Cyanotype fabric by exposing pre-treated fabric to sunlight. The shadows result in the light blue colors while the fully exposed fabric results in the darker blues. I especially enjoy creating art in community and am grateful for my Chautauqua Institution friends who participated in the making of the fabric designs. Subsequently, I assembled the quilt by stitching the top together, and the quilt was finished in 2025 when I "longarmed" the top, batting and backing together. The quilting design is falling leaves which aligns with the garden theme. This truly is an art quilt and could easily become a unique, focal point for any bedroom!
