Artist Commentary

Label

"Each year I attended a three-day seminar with approximately 50 women. A large sack labeled 'Louise's Scrap Collection' is conveniently placed for all to toss in their small clippings from projects they are working on--hence the rainbow of colors in this quilt. This quilt has 5,976 print pieces of 1 1/2" and 2 1/2" strips of various widths in many bright colors. One inch muslin strips edged with 1/4" lace create the rectangles. I have two large flat suit boxes under the bed and I will add more small pieces, sorted by colors, until I have 7,000 to make another quilt."
