Through the Looking Glass

Here is another Black and White quilt. This time I began with a pattern from a stained glass window design book. I altered it a little and enlarged it greatly. Then I fused all of the pattern pieces to the white background before sewing it to the black background. The photo was printed on Extravorganza so that you can see the shiny material that I put behind it. It is a picture of my youngest daughter, Marni. She looks a lot like I did at her age so when I look at the quilt, I see a reflection of myself! She just went off to college so this is a transformative time in my life as well as in hers.
