National Quilt Museum Window based on this quilt

Design Concept

My intention was to create an abstract summer landscape with a (non-literal) suggestion of white lattice. A more literal trellis is appliquéd over the abstract background and populated with three dimensional appliqués of morning glory flowers and leaves. I used real morning glory blossoms and leaves to make templates for the appliqué. I didn't want to box in the subject too neatly, so I let the trellis weave in and out of the successive borders. The edges and centers of the flowers were bleached slightly to give them a more dimensional look. The sculptural machine appliquéd flowers are partially detached from the background.

This quilt was interpreted in stained glass for a window at the National Quilt Museum.
