This quilt resulted from the September Fast Friday Fabric Challenge. The image for it appeared in my head on the eve of the deadline as I was just falling asleep-not a good way to get a decent night’s sleep. I finished it two weeks later and posted it on the FFFC blog. After some suggestions from the blog and a friend, I redid it slightly, just adding more layers of fabric on top of the already stitched quilt. Most of the fabrics are raw edged appliqued with the tree and the woman being fused. The quilt measures 39″ x 25″.
I wanted the quilt to give an atmosphere of menace and dread. This was certainly inspired by our visit from Irene (no damage fortunately) and by the political and economic turmoil these days.
