A quilt dedicated to Mother Earth. Each teardrop represents a current crisis experienced by our planet and its inhabitants. Techniques include traditional piecing, foundation paper piecing, applique, reverse applique, and embroidery. The dark gray background fabric is a lovely contrast to each of the unique blocks. The back is a bold patchwork of coordinating colors, while the green binding intentionally surrounds Mother Earth. The binding was machine sewn with coordinating thread (green on the back and gray on the front). The corner-to-corner curved quilting design is a favorite of mine, adding texture and an organic flow of gray thread across the quilt.
