Children's Tie-Dye Quilt                                      2001

64 X 51"                                                                 Hand dyed cotton muslin

Collection Barbara Courtney                             

This wall hanging quilt is pieced from rags left over from children’s tie-dye projects.  As a docent at Terrace Park Elementary School , I designed and supervised a project where the children dyed T-shirts. Layers of white muslin were placed on the table to catch the drips. These pieces of fabric displayed bright and accidental colors, which I have exploited in this quilt. The squares and triangles that make up this quilt range in size from 2 to 8 inches.
