"I prefer making picture quilts. The process of creating depth and dimension in fabric is like painting. This quilt, based on the Lincoln Memorial, was designed for entry in the Statue of Liberty contest. Unfortunately, it was not completed in time for the contest--it was extremely difficult for me to find commercially dyed fabrics in the exact colors needed to effectively shade the figure. All of the fabrics were purchased--none were hand-dyed specially for the project. A range of browns and grays were used for the statue and yellow in different values was used in the background to give the effect of the sun shining through."
