Aoi's Quilt |
||
 |
35" w. x 43" ht. Japanese and American commercial cottons; 1996. Machine pieced, quilted by hand. This is a baby quilt made for the child of some Japanese friend who named their daughter Aoi, which, when translated means "hollyhocks". Although I looked and looked for fabric with hollyhocks on it, I could not find even one. Instead I settled for a colorful garden variety of summer flowers on hand-stenciled traditional children's yukata fabric. In a private collection. (Photo by James Dee) |
